Veterinary Compounding

Maryville Pharmacy utilizes a bulk of information and insight from the Professional Compounding Centers of America, otherwise known as PCCA, the recognized leader in pharmaceutical compounding training.  Their development of recipes that make compounded prescriptions more accessible and useful for patients allow our pharmacy to reach the needs of our community, including that of our furry family.

Cats and Dogs, among many other species, have a different anatomy and prescription needs compared to humans and customizing medications can become very important to improve their health outcomes.  We are very adept at changing dosage forms to decrease the harms that may come with pilling your pet such as transdermal creams, chewable pet treats, savory suspension liquids, and more.  Cats in particular have a capillary bed in the tips of their ears that can readily absorb a wide range of medications without needing them to swallow anything.  And with larger dogs with higher metabolisms, we can compound larger pet treats that will accomodate the dose they need into one single administration.

Our pharmacists and staff are available to consult with you about your specific medication needs, including customizing the drug, strength, size, and dosage form to fit your fur friend specifically.  We stock USP/NF grade chemicals and always keep a wide range of specialty, commercially available, compounded, and supportive care medications, including recently approved FDA medications and those medications with limited availability.  With over 20 flavors to choose from, medications can also be flavored specifically for the taste of your little prince or princess.

Maryville Pharmacy is licenced in both Illinois and Missouri and if need be can ship medications upon request for a modest fee.  We've worked well with many local and far veterinarians in bi-state area and have seen our fair share of various kinds of recipes for our animal friends including those for ferrets, rabbits, lizards, snakes, monkeys, horses, and more!  Ask us today if we can help your family.
