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.

June has some exciting guests including: Sara Hover, RPh and Deborah Clark, BSPharm, RPh, both from PCCA's Clinical Compounding group. Sara joined Seb and Mike to talk about how compounders can help with autoimmune disorders and Deborah discussed compounding for the veterinary world. Those topics, and so much more, are waiting for you on the latest episodes of The Mortar & Pestle.
