Welcome to Bayview Pharmacy, a compounding pharmacy based in Rhode Island. We serve patients throughout New England and Florida with compounded medications made to their prescriber's specifications.
At Bayview, we compound for nearly every medical specialty, including strengths, combinations, and dosage forms that are not commercially manufactured.
Compounding is a blend of pharmaceutical science and patient-specific pharmacy practice. It is the process of preparing a medication to the specifications a prescriber writes for an individual patient.
Unlike mass-produced drugs, compounded medications are crafted based on specific prescriptions from healthcare providers. They address particular patient requirements that can't be met by commercially available options.
Our pharmacists are trained in the process of compounding. They measure and mix active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to prepare each medication to the prescription.
This process allows us to adjust dosages, combine multiple medications, and create alternate forms of delivery. We can even formulate discontinued drugs that are no longer commercially produced.
When your doctor sends a prescription to Bayview Pharmacy, a documented process begins. Here is a deeper look into how we prepare a compounded medication from your doctor's prescription.
Our pharmacists carefully analyze your prescription, considering factors such as your medical history, allergies, and specific needs.
Based on the prescription and patient information, we prepare the formulation. This involves confirming the concentration of active ingredients the prescriber has written, the delivery method they have specified, and compatible inactive ingredients.
In our laboratory, we measure and prepare each ingredient. This step is documented and checked for accuracy.
Using specialized equipment, our technicians combine the ingredients according to the formulation. This process may involve techniques such as trituration, geometric dilution, or emulsification, depending on the medication type.
Each compounded medication is checked by our pharmacists against our documented quality program before it is released.
The medication is prepared in its final form. That may be capsules, creams, liquids, or another dosage form, as the prescriber specifies.
When you receive your medication, our team is here to provide detailed instructions on its use, potential side effects, and proper storage.
This process allows each preparation to be compounded to the specifications your prescriber has written for you.
At Bayview Pharmacy, we compound for a wide range of medical specialties. Here is a look at some of our key service areas.
Hormonal imbalances can significantly impact quality of life. Our hormone preparations are compounded to the strengths and combinations your prescriber specifies. We can compound hormones into forms such as creams, gels, sublingual tablets, or pellets, as prescribed. Testosterone is a controlled substance and is available only on a valid prescription.
Skin conditions sometimes call for a strength, vehicle, or combination that is not available off the shelf. Our dermatological compounds include creams, ointments, and solutions for conditions ranging from acne and eczema to psoriasis and hyperpigmentation, made to prescription.
We can adjust the concentration of active ingredients and create combinations of medications. We can also formulate them in the base your prescriber selects for your skin type.
Chronic pain is managed by a prescriber and often involves more than one approach. Our pain management compounds can combine multiple active ingredients into a single dosage form when a prescriber specifies it.
We compound topical gels, creams, and patches that deliver pain medication to the site of application. For those who struggle with oral medications, we can compound pain relievers into forms like oral solutions or rapid-dissolve tablets, as prescribed.
We compound medications for a variety of podiatric conditions on prescription, including antifungal creams, wart preparations, and topical analgesic gels.
Our compounds can often combine multiple active ingredients into a single application, which may reduce the number of separate products a patient applies.
We compound oral rinses, gels, and pastes for various dental conditions. These might include customized fluoride preparations, medications for oral pain or infections, or dry socket pastes, as prescribed by the dentist.
We compound preparations for erectile dysfunction to your prescriber's specifications. This might include customized strengths, combination formulations, or alternative dosage forms for those who have difficulty with commercially manufactured oral tablets.
Injectable, urethral, and oral preparations are among the dosage forms we compound for erectile dysfunction. Each is prescribed and dose-titrated by a practitioner.
We understand that pets are family too. Our veterinary compounding services prepare medications to a veterinarian's prescription. We can create pet-friendly flavored medications, transdermal gels, or specially sized dosages for animals of all sizes. This is particularly useful for medications that are not commercially available in veterinary formulations.
Medications that must be sterile, such as injections or eye drops, are compounded in our USP 797 sterile laboratory.
Our owner, Ryan Dyer RPh, personally oversees the production of all sterile products in our walk-in USP 797 sterile laboratory, under our documented quality program.
At Bayview Pharmacy, we understand that the form of medication can be just as important as its ingredients. Our compounding capabilities allow us to offer a wide array of medication forms, so a prescriber can choose the one that fits the patient. Here is a breakdown of our medication forms:
Our custom capsules and tablets offer precise dosing and convenience for patients who prefer traditional oral medications.
We can create capsules in various sizes, filled with precisely measured powder or liquid formulations. This allows for exact dosing and the ability to combine multiple medications into a single capsule.
Our tablet formulations can be customized in shape, size, and release profile. We offer options such as:
For patients who have difficulty swallowing, we offer orally disintegrating tablets that melt quickly in the mouth, requiring no water to swallow.
Liquid medications offer flexibility in dosing and are ideal for patients who have trouble swallowing pills.
Clear liquid medications where the drug is completely dissolved. We can adjust concentration for precise dosing.
For drugs that don't dissolve well, we create stable suspensions that can be easily shaken and measured.
We offer a variety of flavors to improve palatability, making medication time easier for both children and pets.
These specialized oral dosage forms are designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth, allowing for prolonged contact with the oral mucosa.
These melt under the tongue, allowing for rapid absorption into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system.
Designed to be held in the cheek, these provide a slower, more sustained release of medication.
We compound a variety of topical medications for direct application to the skin.
Water-based preparations that combine a moisturizing base with medication delivery.
Non-greasy formulations that are easily absorbed and often selected for hair-bearing areas.
Oil-based preparations that provide occlusive effects, often selected for dry skin conditions.
These allow medication to be absorbed through the skin, providing steady, controlled release over time.
Easy-to-apply gels that deliver medication through the skin into the bloodstream.
Adhesive patches containing medication that slowly releases through the skin, offering convenience and long-acting effects.
For medications that are better absorbed rectally or for patients who can't take oral medications.
Available in various sizes and formulations for adults and children.
Custom-made for treating local vaginal conditions or for systemic absorption.
Our USP 797 clean room allows us to compound sterile medications for injection.
Custom formulations for deep muscle injection.
Specialized preparations for injection just under the skin.
Sterile preparations for direct administration into the bloodstream.
We compound ophthalmic medications in our USP 797 sterile laboratory.
Precisely dosed liquid medications for various eye conditions.
Longer-lasting formulations for overnight or sustained daytime use.
Custom-made liquid medications for inhalation via a nebulizer device.
Specially formulated solutions for targeted nasal delivery of medications.
We at Bayview Pharmacy offer this wide range of medication forms so that a prescriber can select the form that fits each patient. Our pharmacists work with patients and healthcare providers on questions about dosage form, and the prescriber makes the final decision.
