Magistral Preparations

At Clínica Bíblica, we know that each patient is unique. For this reason, we have a specialized service of magistral preparations, which consists in the elaboration of personalized medications according to medical prescription. These formulas are created when there is no commercial option available, a specific dosage is needed, or the medication needs to be adapted for children, the elderly, people with allergies, or even pets.

When to opt for a master preparation?

Magistral preparations are primarily intended for patients with individual medical needs that cannot be met with commercially available drugs.
Magistral preparations are indicated in the following cases:

Allergies or intolerances to common excipients: medications are formulated free of certain components that may cause adverse reactions.
Personalized doses: Essential in pediatric patients, older adults or people with specific diseases that require concentrations of active ingredient different from the commercial ones.
Difficulties in oral administration: Formulations are prepared in alternative formats such as liquids, creams, capsules or suppositories for those who cannot swallow tablets.
Lack of commercial availability: In situations of shortage or withdrawal of drugs, the magistral formulation allows treatment to continue without interruption.
Specialized treatments: As in personalized dermatology, veterinary treatments, or conditions that require drugs for exclusive and specific use.
Polypharmacy and combined formulations: For patients with multiple pathologies, several active ingredients can be combined in a single formulation, improving convenience and therapeutic compliance.
Rare or complex diseases: When there are no standardized treatments, magistral preparations offer a therapeutic option tailored to the patient's needs.
