Compounded Anti-Infective Medications for Individual Patient Needs

Anti-Infective Therapy Explore how compounded anti-infective medications are tailored to individual needs when standard options fall short. Learn about custom compounding today.

Anti-infective therapy encompasses a wide range of medications used to address bacterial, fungal, viral and parasitic concerns across nearly every area of medicine. For some patients, the commercially available version of a prescribed anti-infective may not be suitable due to ingredient sensitivities, the need for a specific dosage form or the unavailability of a particular strength or formulation. In those cases, compounding offers healthcare providers a way to customize the prescription for the individual patient. A 503A compounding pharmacy like Pharmacy Solutions works directly with prescribers to prepare anti-infective medications in a variety of forms, from oral suspensions and topical preparations to sterile ophthalmic solutions and nasal sprays. The pharmacy is PCAB accredited for both sterile and non-sterile compounding and maintains compliance with USP <797> and USP <800>. Patients also have access to pharmaceutical-grade over-the-counter supplements that may support general immune health, including OrthoMune, Viracid, Pro-Balance Buffered Vitamin C and Pro-Balance Vitamin D3, all available for purchase without a prescription.

Frequently Asked Questions About Compounded Anti-Infective Medications

What is a compounded anti-infective medication?

A compounded anti-infective medication is a prescription preparation that is custom made by a licensed pharmacist based on a healthcare provider’s order. It is tailored to a specific patient’s needs, which may include a different strength, dosage form or formulation than what is commercially available.

Yes. Compounded anti-infective medications are prescription products. Your healthcare provider must evaluate your condition and submit a prescription to the pharmacy before a compounded medication can be prepared.

Your provider may recommend compounding if the medication you need is not available in the right strength, form or formulation. It is also common when patients have allergies to certain inactive ingredients, when a medication has been discontinued or when a specific combination is needed.

When performed by a licensed, accredited 503A compounding pharmacy, compounding follows strict quality standards. Pharmacy Solutions is PCAB accredited for both sterile and non-sterile compounding and maintains compliance with USP <797> and USP <800>, with ingredients sourced from FDA-registered suppliers and independent third-party testing on all preparations.

Depending on the prescriber’s recommendation, compounded anti-infectives may be prepared as oral suspensions, capsules, topical creams or ointments, nasal sprays, ophthalmic solutions, suppositories and other forms suited to the patient’s needs.

Yes. Pharmacy Solutions is licensed to ship compounded medications to patients across the country. Your medication can be shipped directly to your home with proper packaging and storage instructions included.

Preparation times vary based on the complexity of the formulation. Most prescriptions are prepared within a few business days of receipt. Your pharmacist can provide a more specific timeline when the prescription is received.
