The PCCA Research & Development (R&D) team constantly explores innovative ways to help meet the unique needs of patients. Using a multi-disciplinary approach, we developed SubMagna SL HMW, a self-emulsifying, sublingual delivery system, to accommodate a wide range of drugs with varying molecular weights — including those with a high-molecular weight. This innovative base is another way PCCA helps to fill the unmet needs of patients, prescribers and compounding pharmacies.
Our Profiles in Personalized Medicine highlights Isha Gupta, PharmD, MBA, owner of HatchRx Compounding Pharmacy in Long Island, New York. Isha shares her perspectives on what “Compounding: It’s Personal” means, what motivated her to become a compounding pharmacist, as well as a patient success story and more. Her pharmacy has been a proud PCCA member since 2022.
At PCCA, we proudly partner with our members to support the unique needs of your patients and prescribers through the science of compounding. We also recognize the importance of effectively communicating the value of compounded medications. As we navigate this path, it is crucial to adhere to established guidelines and embrace best practices in promoting your compounded medications.
Imagine having a clinical support team on-call 24/7, who is able to resolve tricky formula issues, research literature for new compounding developments, provide marketing and business support, and navigate esoteric government agency regulations. If you’re a PCCA member with clinical services access, you don’t have to imagine it — this “extension of your pharmacy staff” already exists! Members without clinical services access may not know what they’re missing — all for just $27 a day.
Administering medications to veterinary patients can be a challenging task for owners. Palatability issues with bitter drugs is very common and masking the taste of these drugs can be difficult. The logistics of simply giving an oral medication to pets often exacerbate existing challenges. However, delivering medications through the skin using permeation-enhancing vehicles may provide welcomed options for veterinarians and their patients, and serves as a prime example of how compounding shines by offering alternative delivery systems.
