Your compounding pharmacist at Civic Center Pharmacy is a problem-solver in the community who works with you as well as your physician to gain positive outcomes. Yet, a doctor may find that the best dose is 40mg. We can prepare a dosage form that will contain exactly this amount. The patient doesn't have to take too much medicine, which is wasteful andcould cause adverse effects, or too little medicine, which could be ineffective. But, infants and individuals who have difficulty swallowing may need a liquid, suppository or other dosage form.
