The diagnosis of cancer in a beloved pet is often an extremely emotional event for an owner. For many, this diagnosis creates images of pain, suffering and the inevitable death of the cherished family companion. Many fear that instant euthanasia is the only humane option. However, a growing number of pet owners are becoming aware of available treatment options. At Pharmacy Innovations we can provide state-of-the-art customized therapies to facilitate the highest-quality care while working closely with the veterinarian and pet owner. Therapeutic options for veterinary cancer patients can be compounded to provide customized therapies based on biology, treatment options and inividual patient needs for each tumor.* At Pharmacy Innovations we can compound customized therapies for your veterinary cancer patients, including chemotherapeutic agents, antiangiogenesis therapies, pain management medications and wound care preparations. Our USP <797> compliant facility makes us uniquely qualified to prepare sterile injectables and other sterile preparations such as ophthalmic medications. We can prepare an individualized dose of medication for a particular pet, which often allows the veterinarian to avoid the cost of purchasing and storing a drug that may not be the appropriate strength or quantity needed for a specific animal. This can also help to avoid reconstituting and diluting products that can be hazardous to caregivers and may result in inaccurate dosing. * International Journal of Pharmaceutical Compounding Vol 4 No 4 July/August 2000
