Open Wound Healing

Have you seen a pharmacist growing back a finger?

This patient presented to Max Drugs Pharmacy for a finger injury that caused extreme pain and suffering. He was recommended by his physician to have his finger amputated as his finger wound was too deep and uncovered his distal finger bone, but he decided to try another alternative to save his finger. Max Drugs Pharmacy offered him the opportunity to restore his finger. Over a period of 6 months, his finger was entirely recovered.

Therapies For Veterinary Care

Compounding is the art of preparing customized medications. We can provide our clients with medications in alternate dosage forms which are not commercially available.

We love our pets. Many of us treat them as if they are our own children. From dogs and cats to horses and elephants, no matter what type of animal it is, we at Max Drugs will treat your pet’s problem. As any pet owner knows, administering medications to pets can be quite a challenge. We work side by side with Veterinarians and Pet owners to develop the best possible solution for the pet’s need. There are a variety of ways we can treat your pet’s health concerns.

Veterinary Compounding has become an increasing need.

1. Many drugs are not approved for certain species; therefore, drugs manufactured for humans must be used. The use of human drugs in animals must be altered (compounded) to fit the size of the animal.

2. Items that are currently discontinued can be ordered and compounded to the veterinarian’s need.

3. The variation in size, breeds, and types of animals is a situation that faces veterinarians. Do small dogs like Chihuahuas and large dogs like Golden Retrievers need the same doses? Can a parrot take the same medications as a Hamster? Will a specific drug have the same effect on a Lhasa Apso as it might on a Collie?

4. Veterinarians face ethical dilemmas, treat only what is available or do what is best for the animal.

5. We compound for many types of animals: Domestic small and large pets, exotics, wildlife, zoo animals, horses, etc.

We can compound formulations to meet vet specifications, compound discontinued drugs, or change dosages, strengths and flavors. We also offer a wide variety of flavors that will appeal to all pets, from banana to chicken.

Veterinary Preparations we currently compound:

Alternate Dosage Forms
Sterile Injections
Creams, ointments and lotions

Flu Vaccination

admin — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 01:21:31 +0000

Two Different Flus Are Here This Season

The 2009 flu season is different from most flu seasons of the past in that there are now two distinct types of influenza in circulation: Seasonal flu and H1N1 influenza virus (also known as swine flu.) To get the most protection against the flu this fall and winter, people will need to get two different vaccines when they are available. It’s important to know, however, that you may be at higher risk for complications from one form of the flu but not for the other. Although H1N1 is particularly dangerous to school-age children, seasonal flu is more hazardous to older people.

Zachary Eisenman who is an immunization-certified pharmacist will administer H1N1 and seasonal flu shots during regular business hours and will continue to do so throughout the flu season.

Sports Medicine

admin — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 14:08:02 +0000

Athletes, coaches, trainers, team physicians, physical therapists, and even the “weekend warrior” are faced with problems including inflammation and muscle spasms. We work together with these individuals and other health care professionals to customize medications which meet specific needs. Our compounding specialists can help to solve medication problems using customized preparations that contain the most appropriate ingredients in the best vehicle to most efficiently provide the needed drug to the affected area. Please contact our compounding pharmacist for more information.

Medication Therapy Management in Action

admin — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 03:42:41 +0000

We intervene with prescribers and make therapy recommendations such as decreasing the number of medications a patient takes, substituting expensive medications with less expensive alternatives, adjusting medications or dosages to be safer for elderly patients, eliminating duplicate therapies, increase patients’ adherence to medication therapy.

What to Expect in Your First MTM Meeting

Your MTM consultation will be held in a private room in the pharmacy where you will meet one-on-one with your MTM pharmacist. An initial visit may last from 30 to 45 minutes. The pharmacist will ask you questions about your medical conditions, your medical history, and current and past medication use. This information will be used to assess your current medications and identify any problems with your medications.

With your permission, the pharmacist will contact your primary care provider and present his/her assessment and recommendations. Your pharmacist will work closely with your primary care provider to make your health care as effective as possible and resolve any medication-related problems.

You should plan to see your MTM pharmacist three times during the first year, or more if needed, and two times in each subsequent year to provide an ongoing assessment of your health status and medications.
