[Li...] Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 the ones I called used their own brands of bentos. I am sensitive to other brands. Anybody else know of a pharmacy that will compound their brand of Benz? Yes. Several. A reputable compounding pharmacy should understand why a patient might request this — their core business is creating pharmaceutical products to meet the unique needs of patients. Did you ask the pharmacies you called if they would be willing to order and use your preferred manufacturer if your prescriber wrote a “Dispense As Written” prescription for you? It also might help to mention you would be a repeat customer (so the compounder would not be “stuck” with unused stock). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Li...] Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 are compounding pharmacies okay to use for tapering benzos? they make my capsules for temazepam Yes. We have many members who are using or have used compounding pharmacies to successfully taper clonazepam. The key to success is to find a reputable, accredited pharmacy that specializes in compounding and has PharmDs (not just techs) with advanced training and experience in compounding (ideally with your particular benzodiazepine) who use USP Compounded Preparation Monographs or comparable, standards-based, stability-tested formulations.
