Looking for a medication that has been discontinued or not available at your current pharmacy? Let us at Clayton Central Pharmacy help you re-create the medication that is no longer available on the market.
Medications may be commercially unavailable for a variety of reasons, the most common being:
Sometimes only certain doses and dosage forms of a particular drug, or specific combinations are discontinued.
Our professional pharmacists can help by obtaining the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) and compounding the needed drug in the most appropriate dose, dosage form, and flavor for each patient. We can also compound medications that are free of problem-causing additives such as sugar, alcohol, preservatives, dyes, and gluten. We utilize the finest TGA approved chemicals, follow current guidelines provided by regulatory boards, and are licensed and regulated by the Pharmacy Board of Australia.
As a compounding pharmacy, we help to alleviate these problems by providing doctors and patients a readily available source for backordered products and compounded medications. Filling this void is just one of the reasons why compounding pharmacies are a vital component of the healthcare system. As shortages occur manufacturers inform the TGA, who then post it to their TGA website drug shortage list http://apps.tga.gov.au/prod/MSI/search.
- back-ordered due to a manufacturing problem
- discontinued due to decreased usage or declining manufacturer profits, which may be related to the introduction of a newer drug
