Medication shortages and discontinued drugs can create challenges for both patients and healthcare providers. At Christian’s Pharmacy & Health Services, we specialize in compounding customized medications to help fill these gaps, ensuring patients have continued access to the treatments they need.
When a medication is backordered, discontinued, or unavailable in the right strength or form, our pharmacy can compound an alternative based on a provider’s prescription.
Why Are Some Medications Unavailable?
There are many reasons why a medication may become unavailable, including:
- Drug shortages due to supply chain disruptions or manufacturing delays
- Discontinued medications that are no longer produced commercially
- Uncommon dosages or formulations that are not widely manufactured
- Ingredient availability issues that affect mass production
Regulatory changes that impact pharmaceutical distribution
How Compounding Can Help
Our experienced compounding pharmacists can recreate or modify medications that are no longer accessible in commercial form. This allows patients to maintain their treatment regimen without interruption.
Compounded alternatives may include:
- Custom dosage strengths to match a patient’s exact prescription needs
- Alternative delivery forms such as capsules, liquids, creams, or troches
- Preservative-free, dye-free, or allergen-free formulations for sensitive patients
- Combination therapies that simplify multiple medications into a single dose
