Compounding

Drug compounding has been in use since man discovered that certain plants, or chemicals, could effectively treat many diseases.  In fact, many of today’s modern drugs are derived from products used by the earliest physicians and pharmacists.  Before the advent of pharmaceutical companies, virtually all medications were compounded by the “pharmacist”. Now, the majority of pharmaceutical products are available commercially as prepared pills, capsules, injections, gels, creams, and troches.

The art of compounding allows the patient and physician flexibility in dosage, form, strength and other areas and provides pharmacists a means to create pharmaceutical agents that are otherwise not available commercially. Burman’s highly trained pharmacists compound many products requested by physicians for their patients. These customizable applications include pain management, fertility, podiatry and many others.
