Veterinary Compounding
Veterinary compounding allows medications to be customized for each patient in the strength, dosage form, and delivery method that best fits their species, size, and condition. Adjustments to strength, dosage form, and base are determined by the characteristics of the API(s) and the intended route of administration.
