Veterinary preparations

A sample of what prescribers send us. We compound many preparations that aren’t listed: ask a pharmacist.

Full formulary

30 preparations

Strengths, bases and quantities are set by each prescription. Compounded medications are prepared for an individual patient pursuant to a valid prescription. They are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or quality.

What we prepare

About a third of our formulary is veterinary: oral suspensions such as gabapentin, fluoxetine and metronidazole, transdermal creams such as methimazole and amlodipine, and capsules, compounded in strengths and forms sized for the animal.

Why veterinarians prescribe compounded medications

Many medications aren’t made in doses small enough for a cat or large enough for a big dog, or in a form an animal will take. Compounding lets a veterinarian order the right strength, a flavored liquid instead of a tablet, or a transdermal cream applied to the ear. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved.

How it works

Three steps, one pharmacy.

For patients
  1. Your veterinarian sends us a prescription for your pet

    By e-prescription, fax or LifeFile, with the strength and dosage form you need.

  2. A pharmacist compounds it

    We review the prescription, prepare it for you and check it before it leaves.

  3. We ship it to you

    Labeled with your directions and beyond-use date, cold-packed if it needs to be.

Made pursuant to a patient-specific prescription.

Made for each patient
Each preparation is compounded for the patient named on the prescription, and dated the day it’s made.
Traceable
Every label carries a lot number and a beyond-use date.
A pharmacist you can call
Questions about the preparation, its label or its storage go to a pharmacist, Mon–Fri, 8 AM–5 PM ET.

Can I order for my pet without a vet?

No. Veterinary preparations need a prescription from a licensed veterinarian who has examined the animal.

Can you flavor a medication?

Often, yes. Many oral suspensions can be flavored to make dosing easier. Your veterinarian’s prescription and our pharmacists decide what’s appropriate.

Can I give my pet a human medication instead?

Never without your veterinarian’s direction. Doses and ingredients that are fine for people can harm animals.
