8/25/2011
(Swedesboro NJ, August 30, 2011) While Terramycin® Ophthalmic Ointment is on extended backorder from Pfizer Animal Health, Wedgewood Pharmacy will compound Oxytetracycline (as HCl)/Polymyxin B 0.5%/10,000u/gm Ophthalmic Ointment in 3.5 gm tubes. Wedgewood Pharmacy compounds Oxytetracycline/Polymixin B in accordance with USP <797> guidelines for compounding sterile preparations.
Oxytetracycline/Polymyxin B is a broad-spectrum, antibacterial ointment commonly prescribed by veterinarians for a variety of primary and secondary eye infections in dogs and cats.
A compounding pharmacy creates customized medications for individual patients in response to a licensed practitioner’s prescription. Jodi Donohue, Wedgewood Pharmacy’s animal-health product manager noted, “During backorders or other shortages of commercially available medications, compounding pharmacies like Wedgewood Pharmacy are able to compound alternatives so that treatment regimens can continue uninterrupted.”
Donohue added: “A manufacturer’s backorder or withdrawal of a medication does not lessen a practitioner’s need for that medication as a treatment option. As a compounding pharmacy, we are able to provide Oxytetracycline/Polymyxin B so veterinarians can ensure the treatments they need are available for their patients.”
