Suspensions
When compounding a medication it is the solubility of drug that determines whether it is a suspension or a solution. If a drug is insoluble yet stable in a liquid, it can be compounded into a suspension. In a suspension, the drug is first coated, preventing it from adhering together, then it is added to the liquid. This process enables even dispersion of the drug throughout the entire volume and more accurate dosing. If a drug is soluble and stable in a liquid, it is compounded into a solution. Flavoring is then added to the final preparation making it palatable to the specific animal. BCP Veterinary Pharmacy has numerous flavors to please even the most finicky pets.

“The addition of flavors to the medications aids in client compliance, helping owners to administer medication like a treat.”
