Active pharmaceutical ingredients available as substances for extemporaneous preparation in veterinary medicine in the Czech republic
Abstract
In veterinary medicine, extemporaneously prepared drugs can be also used in therapy. In the recent four years the selection of suitable compounds for extemporaneous (magistral) preparation has been expanded and new possibilities for the creation of formulas have appeared.
The paper reports on the substances available for compounding that can be used in veterinary medicine, in the pharmacotherapeutic classes antibiotics, antimycotics, antiseptics, corticosteroids, emollients and epithelizing agents, anti-inflammatory drugs, local anesthetics, decongestives, beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers, antiemetics and prokinetics, sedatives and hypnotics. The emphasis has been placed on newly available substances.
Examples of suitable magistral formulas are presented that can replace mass-produced drug products which are not readily obtainable. The aim of the paper is to inform pharmacists and veterinarians about new possibilities of drug compounding.
