Compounded oral pet medications can be delivered in a number of forms, providing dosing flexibility for the primary care provider and the pharmacist.
Commonly used forms of compounded oral pet medications include capsules, chewables, microtablets and oral suspensions.
Depending on the form, the veterinarian may be able to provide medication that’s easier to hide in animal food, flavored to mask bitter tastes or in a format that more resembles familiar animal treats. All the while, the strength of the medication can be more closely managed to suit your companion animal’s needs.
