At Myerlee Pharmacy, we have an established reputation with doctors and patients in Southwest Florida for our state-of-the-art compounding practices. Our pharmacy offers sterile compounded injectable medications, oral medications, sublingual medications, topical medications, and suppositories – to list a few.
Injectables, as well as some other compounded medications, must be sterile, have limited endotoxins and must meet labeled potency. Particularly with injectable medication, if the medicine does not meet these specifications, usage may lead to infections and other more severe complications.
To prevent this risk, our highly-trained pharmacy staff works in our specially designed facility with state-of-the-art sterile equipment, quality assurance program, and adheres to policies and procedures. At Myerlee Pharmacy, we exceed these standards to provide the best and safest medication to our customers. Myerlee Pharmacy has the experience and expertise in compounding sterile products that you can rely on:
We examine sterile injectables for foreign matter and test for sterility and endotoxins as required by USP 797 standards.
Sterile compounding is the preparation of medications that must be free of contamination, prepared under controlled, aseptic conditions. At Myerlee Pharmacy in Fort Myers, we have an established reputation with doctors and patients across Southwest Florida for our compounding practices, and we prepare sterile compounded injectables along with oral, sublingual, and topical medications and suppositories, among others.
Sterility matters because some medications, particularly injectables, must be sterile, must have limited endotoxins, and must meet labeled potency. If an injectable medication does not meet these specifications, its use could lead to infection or other serious complications. This is why sterile preparation follows strict standards and is carried out in a dedicated, controlled environment.
Providers, surgical centers, and patients across Southwest Florida rely on sterile compounding when a needed preparation must be made to order under these conditions. Sterile compounded medications are always prepared from, and used under, the direction of a licensed healthcare provider.
Sterile compounding begins with a prescription or order from a licensed provider or facility. Our pharmacists review the order, confirm the agents and strength, and prepare the medication using aseptic technique in our specially designed facility with sterile equipment, a quality assurance program, and documented policies and procedures.
The types of preparations we compound include sterile injectables as well as oral, sublingual, and topical medications and suppositories. The specific medication, strength, and form are always determined by the prescribing provider or facility. Because each preparation is made to order, it can be tailored to a provider’s exact prescription.
Myerlee Pharmacy follows recognized standards and maintains the credentials and processes that support safe sterile compounding, including the following.
Important considerations apply to any sterile preparation, including proper administration as directed, storage, and beyond-use dating, all of which our pharmacists review when a preparation is dispensed. Compounded preparations are not the same as FDA-approved manufactured products and are intended to be used exactly as a provider directs.
Sterile compounding gives providers and patients access to made-to-order preparations produced under controlled, verified conditions. Below are common reasons providers and patients in Southwest Florida choose sterile compounding, along with who may benefit. Whether a specific preparation is appropriate is a decision the prescribing provider can determine.
