Reply to comment by Scarlet- in Post viral cough: why does it get worse after you get better? by [deleted]

You get liquid? Only ones we can safely get is Tablets in my part of Germany. Liquid formulations are on Backorder..

Not that I’d personally mind compounding those Tablets into a suspension ifneed be… but being a retail pharmacy… those prescriptions are virtually never for a confirmed bacterial infection, but rather ‚if things get worse‘

Like wtf if things get worse, you hand the prescription to the parents and have it picked up/delivered by the pharmacy. Don‘t have patients keep out of stock antibiotics at home -.-

Yes, but the liquid stock comes and goes. For the most part they have been on back order for a few weeks.

Is compounding antibiotics from tablet to liquid a common thing in retail pharmacies in Germany?
