Ep. 87 Integrating Compounding Into Your Practice with Dr. Jordan Grant and Aaron Schneider, PharmD

In this episode of BackTable, Dr. Jose Silva interviews Dr. Aaron Schneider, a pharmacist, and Dr. Jordan Grant, a urologist, about compounding pharmacies and their uses in providing medications to treat urological conditions. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR ReviveRX https://reviverx.com/urology/ --- SHOW NOTES First, the doctors define compounding, which is the process of creating special treatments for unique populations of patients. Compounding a medication can involve a multitude of actions, such as removing an allergen, eliminating a preservative, changing typical route of administration, and more. Dr. Grant and Dr. Schneider explain how in 2016, ReviveRX, their compounding pharmacy, realized the need for compounding urologic medications, especially to treat infertility, erectile dysfunction, and low testosterone. Additionally, the doctors explained how ReviveRX provides a unique type of intracavernosal injection that is freeze dried to help increase the shelf life and distribution efficiency of the product. Although insurance companies may not cover the cost of compounded medications, some patients with allergies to medications have seen great improvement in side effects with medication compounded to their unique needs. Next, Dr. Grant discusses his testosterone replacement therapy regimen for patients with low free testosterone levels. He explains how he integrates hCG and FSH into the treatment plan if patients have concerns about declining fertility. Then, Dr. Schneider provides an overview of the history of hCG use and regulations in commercial and compounding pharmacies. Finally, the doctors wrap up by explaining how other doctors can order from ReviveRX and steps they can take to ensure the quality of products from compounding pharmacies. --- RESOURCES ReviveRX https://reviverx.com/
