ApothéCure
ApothéCure is a pharmacy that specializes in the production and distribution of compounded medications. Compounded medications are drugs that are specifically tailored to the needs of an individual patient, often when commercially available drugs do not meet those needs.
History[edit | edit source]
ApothéCure was founded in Dallas, Texas in 1989 by Gary Osborn, a pharmacist with a vision to provide personalized medication solutions to patients. The pharmacy has since grown to become one of the leading compounding pharmacies in the United States.
Services[edit | edit source]
ApothéCure provides a wide range of services, including prescription compounding, nutritional supplements, and consultation services. The pharmacy works closely with healthcare providers to create customized medication plans for patients.
Compounding[edit | edit source]
Compounding is the process of creating personalized medications. This involves altering the strength of a drug, changing its form to make it easier to ingest, or adding flavor to make it more palatable. ApothéCure specializes in this service, providing solutions for patients who have specific medication needs that are not met by commercially available drugs.
Quality Control[edit | edit source]
ApothéCure is committed to maintaining high standards of quality control. The pharmacy follows strict pharmaceutical industry guidelines and regulations to ensure the safety and efficacy of its compounded medications.
Controversies[edit | edit source]
In 2012, ApothéCure was involved in a controversy when it was discovered that a batch of compounded drugs it had produced was contaminated. This led to a recall of the affected drugs and a temporary suspension of the pharmacy's operations.
