“Health Forum” to Feature Solutions Pharmacy

For more than 45 years, Solutions, a family-owned pharmacy in Chattanooga, TN, has been specializing in compounding prescriptions specifically designed by physicians for patientsÂ’ needs.

Deerfield Beach, FL (PRWEB) October 16, 2004

Platinum Television Group is pleased to announce the selection of Solutions Pharmacy for its innovative, educational television series, Health Forum.

Compounding pharmacies are specialized entities that prepare selectively prescribed medications on site. They employ professionally trained pharmacists and technicians to tailor-make the prescribed specific drugs to properly fit the needs of each patient. Mass-produced drugs are manufactured in bulk quantities, not allowing for individual needs, and resulting in a limited number of strengths, dosages, and few flavors.

For more than 45 years, Solutions, formerly known as Lakeside, a family-owned pharmacy in Chattanooga, TN, has been specializing in compounding prescriptions specifically designed by physicians for patientsÂ’ needs. While it used to be just a walk-in neighborhood drugstore, it is now a worldwide expert in pharmaceutical compounding, Solutions PharmacyÂ’s main objective is to prepare compounded products that exceed the national requirements for purity and quality, assuring patients and doctors of achieving the maximum desired results.

Most chain pharmacies fill prescriptions by “counting out pills,” according to Josh Talley, a Certified pharmacy technician/Compounding specialist. But Solutions fills specialized prescriptions from raw powders and medications, so that each order is custom-made. This enables the pharmacists to fill prescriptions without additives—for example, without Tylenol, Ibuprofen, etc. that comes in many pain medications and can be fatal in high doses over extended periods of time.

Recently, the American Medical Review named Solutions Pharmacy the nationÂ’s experts in formulating bio-identical hormones. They also offer hormonal assessments at their facility. Their innovative staff has also perfected the art of hormonal implants and is currently the only pharmacy in the U. S. able to make 3.5mm and 4.5mm fused hormone pellets. Solutions pharmacy has become one of the most elite compounding pharmacies in the world due to their constant effort to improve personal individualized patient care.

Because of its specially trained staff, state-of-the-art equipment, and medical knowledge, Solutions Pharmacy is able to produce and provide a variety of personalized compounds specializing in: hormone replacement therapy for women, male impotency medications, veterinary formulations, flavoring, pain management, dermatological lotions, creams, ointments, and gels, discontinued medications, custom sterile injectables and ophthalmics, unavailable combinations, and specialized vitamin and herbal combinations. The high quality of its products has made Solutions the compounding pharmacy of health advocates like actress Suzanne Somers.

Health Forum will feature Solution PharmacyÂ’s five decades of experience in the compounding industry and its work with medical breakthroughs in a segment on New Age Pharmacies.
