Prescriptions Specific to Each Patient
Sterile compounding is a process of safely creating custom medications that would otherwise have a high risk of infection and contamination if it weren’t for the sterile environment. This could be in the form of injectables, ophthalmic (eye drops & ointments) medications, inhalations, and surgical procedure irrigations.
Who Needs Sterile Compounding?
Patients who have unique needs due to dosing requirements, allergies, or rare diseases may benefit from access to customized medication. This may allow for more precise medication that could potentially improve patient outcomes.
In addition, sterile compounding gives hospitals and other healthcare facilities the ability to provide personalized medication tailored to their patients’ specific needs. This also provides an extra level of safety and industry-grade quality assurance while preventing the financial liability of compounding on site.
How to Manage Risks?
Given the risks of sterile compounding, preparations must be made with the proper ingredients, techniques, and facilities to ensure the patient receives the right medication and dosage in a safe manner. Eastern States Rx skillfully follows established standards in the industry to deliver safe and high quality sterile compounded medication.
