Specialty Injectables

Erectile Dysfunction

Since a healthy sex life is vital to enjoying life, many ED sufferers use a variety of commercially available oral medications, known as Phosphodiesterase-5 or PDE5 Inhibitors, including Viagra (Sildenafil), Cialis (Tadalafil), and Levitra (Vardenafil).

But for ED sufferers who cannot tolerate or swallow these oral medications, MasterPharm provides alternative ED therapies, such as Intracavernosal Injectables. This approach allows men to inject customized pharmaceutical compounds into the Corpora Cavernosa or erectile cylinders of the penis to relax blood vessels to increase blood flow that can enable an erection. The medication is usually a compound called the Triple Mix that usually combines the following drugs in prescribed amounts:

• Phenotolamine
• Alprostadil
• Papaverine

Beyond oral medications and Intracavernosal Injectables, there are other alternatives available that do not involve using a needle to inject the medication, including vacuum therapy (which employs a pump device), IntraUrethral gels, and Testosterone Replacement Therapy.

At MasterPharm, we are happy to discuss treatment options with physicians and their patients. MasterPharm employs stringent quality control measures guaranteeing proper compounds, dosages, and the sterility of each preparation. Our highly trained technicians adhere to strict USP/NF 795 and 797 standards, among other quality control guidelines governing aseptic preparation of customized pharmaceutical compounds. Our state of the art facilities meet and exceed USP/NF Environmental standards, including ISO Class 5 Open Enviornment Clean Rooms and ISO Class 7 work areas.

Hyaluronidase

Wyeth-Ayerst Pharmaceuticals manufactured Hyaluronidase under the brand name Wydase until 2001. At that time, they discontinued the production of Wydase due to quality assurance issues at their manufacturing plant. Now, Wydase supplies are dwindling and very hard to find.

Ophthalmologists rely upon Hyaluronidase injections for cataract surgeries and other intraocular surgeries. Hyaluronidase, which is derived from bovine testicular enzymes, improves the dispersion and absorption of anesthetic agents. Dermatologists also use Hyaluronidase to break down Hyaluronic fillers, such as Restylane, Perlane, and Juvederm if and when too much filler is infected during a procedure.

Now that the future of Wydase is uncertain, doctors who rely upon it are turning to compounding pharmacies as an alternative source. But if Hyaluronidase is not manufactured in a sterile, quality controlled manner, serious consequences can result. In eye surgeries, contaminated Hyaluronidase can cause double vision and even total loss of vision in surgical patients.

For ophthalmologists, dermatologists, and other physicians seeking to fill orders for Hyaluronidase, MasterPharm prepares it according to stringent quality control measures that guarantee the sterility of Hyaluronidase injections. Our highly trained technicians adhere to strict USP/NF 795 and 797 standards, among other quality control guidelines governing aseptic preparation of customized pharmaceutical compounds. Our state of the art facilities meet and exceed USP/NF Environmental standards, including ISO Class 5 Open Enviornment Clean Rooms and ISO Class 7 work areas.

Preservative Free Steroid Injectables

Many patients cannot tolerate the preservatives, dyes, and allergens that are unfortunately present in many commercially available medications. Patients who are sensitive to these irritating agents can experience adverse side effects or reactions.

MasterPharm solves this problem effectively by preparing the medications they need without the use of any irritating substances including the following:

Sterile, preservative-free preparation is helpful to many medications, including steroid injectables that are commonly used by surgeons, hospital staff, and physicians to treat pain and inflammation in patients. Preservative-free steroid injections can be compounded using a variety of steroids including the following:

• Triamcinolone Diacete
• Methylprednisolone acetate
• Depo Medrol

Matching the dosage forms, formulation, and strength of customized compounds to patient needs is advantageous for the treatment of pain and inflammation. More importantly, our compounding services enable us to produce medications that soothe inflammation without introducing the risk of adverse side effects and reactions to substances in the medication.

For surgical centers, hospitals, and physicians seeking to order preservative free steroid injectables, MasterPharm prepares these customized compounds according to USP/NF 795 and 797 standards, among other strict quality control guidelines, to ensure the their efficacy and sterility. Our state of the art facilities meet and exceed USP/NF Environmental standards, including ISO Class 5 Open Enviornment Clean Rooms and ISO Class 7 work areas.

Solutions and Suspensions

MasterPharm supports physicians in their life-saving work by customizing pharmaceuticals that optimize patient care and promote faster recovery. Since drug companies must focus on manufacturing only those drug forms, strengths, and formulations that yield robust sales and profits, the result is a one-size-fits-all approach that is not always right for the patient.

We solve this problem by expanding the options beyond the limited scope of commercially available drug products. If a patient cannot swallow oral medications, or if the patient is vomiting, we can prepare medications in alternative dosage forms to make them easier to administer including the following:

• Intravenous injections
• Intramuscular injections
• Subcutaneous injections
• Transdermal patches
• Eye drop preparations

For infants and young children, we can customize medications according to their body weight, age, and health needs. For children, the elderly, and other special needs patients, we can prepare medications in alternative forms and formulations that are more pleasant to take and tolerate including the following:

When medications are customized to meet the needs of patients, their greater compliance leads to faster relief of symptoms and a progression to the health and wellness they want and deserve.
