What is a Compounded Medication?

A compounded medication is the creation of a particular medication to fit the unique needs of a patient, including changing the form of the medication (e.g., from a solid pill to a liquid) for a variety reasons (e.g., to make it easier to take, to avoid a non-essential ingredient, to obtain the exact dose needed, adding favorite flavors).

Custom Dosage

Hi I have a dog who needs 600mg doses of Potassium Bromide Compounded. I notice all the doses you offer pre-made are 250 or 500 mg. Since I Cant split that up in any way to give me 600mg doses I was looking to have you compound that into custom doses based on the section in your product info that says "Compounding is beneficial in instances where a specific dosage is unavailable or in different forms to make it easier to dose your pet" Would there be a significant increase in cost for this?

Both are Potassium Bromide, the K-brovet comes from a manufacturer in a chewable form but we offer the pottasium bromide in other forms which we compound.
