Ophthalmology Compounding
Would you want an unaccredited pharmacy to compound your sterile ophthalmic
preparations?
We wouldn’t either.
That’s why NNECP is nationally accredited in sterile compounding for ophthalmologists. We’ve
proven that we surpass the standard in our state-of-the-art clean room
where we compound injectables, drops, and other sterile compounds for
the eye(s). To ensure sterility and allow for peace of mind, the products
prepared in our pharmacy undergo tests for sterility by an independent
laboratory and by in-house testing. Additionally, we perform an extensive
monitoring procedure each week to evaluate the environment where our
sterile compounds are prepared.
Whether you need pre-mixed products, hard-to-find or preservative-free
combo drops, NNECP provides innovative solutions for you or your
patients. Our staff is always available
to consult with you about your particular medication needs.
NNECP is the only pharmacy in New England
nationally accredited for the compounding of
sterile ophthalmic preparations.
The following products represent our most commonly dispensed ophthalmic
medications:
Avastin™
Avastin™ (bevacizumab) is being used by retinal specialists (as
an off-label use) in the treatment of wet macular degeneration, or AMD.
Wet AMD is a serious, vision-threatening condition. In wet AMD abnormal
blood vessels behind the retina start to grow in the area of the retina
known as the macula. These blood vessels leak blood and fluid causing
damage to the macula and loss of vision. Studies have shown Avastin™ (bevacizumab)
to benefit wet macular degeneration patients.
Fortified Antibiotic Drops
Vancomycin, Ceftazdine, Gentamycin, and many
others are available in customized or increased concentrations to treat
your patients. These can be prepared as drops or injections.
Combination Dilation Drops
Depending on the regimen, some pre-op procedures
require the administration of up to five different ophthalmic medications.
The PCAB-Accredited staff at NNECP can compound customized combinations
of these medications to reduce the number of administrations. Some of
our popular preservative-free preparations include: Cyclopentolate, Tropicamide,
Phenylephrine, Ketorolac, Tetracaine. We can formulate these in small
volume, unit-of-use containers and customized formulas to meet the unique
needs of your patients. Read more...
Preservative-Free Medications
The elimination of an allergy or adverse
reaction could be the difference between success and failure in an ophthalmic
procedure. We have the ability to compound preservative-free and additive-free
preparations, including topical solutions and intraocular injections
that save your patients from discomfort and speed recovery time. Examples
of some preservative-free ophthalmics include: Triamcinolone Acetonide,
Timolol, Prednisolone, Dexamethasone, etc.
