Brown's Compounding Center

Brown's Compounding is involved in everything from hormone replacement to pediatric formulations to veterinary medications. It also prepares compounds in a sterile environment to create drugs that are injected and administered via eye or ear drops. The company brought in the latest technological equipment in part to protect patients against some of... the more common issues in compounding, such as miscalculations and cross-contamination. Brown's Compounding uses sophisticated software and barcoding systems to track every bit of the chemicals. With exact dosage adjustments and unconventional forms of application comes a slightly higher cost, but it's often worth it to those who want to circumvent the risk of trial-and-error to get their health back on track. "There's a lot of need and a lot of demand out there for customized medications," Brown says. Compounding involves the mixing of raw ingredients of medications deemed appropriate by a physician or prescriber to meet a patient's specific needs. The raw chemicals are mixed into final dosage form and given based on the recommendations of the prescriber.Read More
