Version 1.5 Updated February 28, 2013 Pure Integrative Pharmacy Compounding Reference Guide for Veterinary Patients 2013
Welcome Letter Dear Veterinarian, Thank you for taking the time to use this handy compounding reference guide. Here at Pure Integrative Pharmacy, we understand that your clients have unique medication needs and challenges. Our pharmacists have specialized training in veterinary compounding and access to veterinary specific formulations and references. We have many dosage options available that allow flexibility and convenience for your patients. We also have unique flavouring options that are sure to please even the most finicky of our animal friends. If you visit our pharmacies, you will see a facility that looks more like a laboratory than a traditional pharmacy. You will see the preparation of medicines from unformulated chemicals using specialized equipment. Although this method requires time to research, measure, and mix, we believe it offers the best possible product - a high quality medication that is designed with the veterinarian client in mind. Highlights of our services: • Open 6 days a weeks in your community • Medications can be made for office use or for your clients by prescription • Most compounds can be prepared within 24 hours • Free delivery • Competitive prices that enable your practice to profit from our services • Member of Professional Compounding Centers of America (PCCA) • Preparing medications that are shorted or no longer commercially available Please feel free to contact our pharmacies for further information by phone or email. We look forward to developing a partnership with your clinic in the near future. Kind regards, Halyna Hritzkiv Compounding Pharmacist Pure Integrative Pharmacy
