Why a Liquid May Be Prescribed
Dogs and cats may need a strength or dose volume that does not fit a commercial tablet or capsule. A compounded suspension can be prepared when the veterinarian writes the prescription details.
Prescriber-led preparation
Compounding is used when the prescription needs something different from a ready-made product.
Ursodiol suspension is compounded when a veterinarian prescribes a liquid form as part of a liver or gallbladder-related care plan.
