erityisvalmisteista
Erityisvalmisteita, often translated as special preparations or compounded medicines, refers to pharmaceutical products that are specifically prepared for an individual patient. This contrasts with mass-produced, commercially available drugs. The need for erityisvalmisteita arises when a standard medicinal product is not suitable for a particular patient's needs. This can be due to various reasons, such as an allergy to an excipient in a standard formulation, a required dosage strength not available commercially, or a need for a specific dosage form, like a liquid suspension for a child who cannot swallow pills.
The preparation of erityisvalmisteita is typically carried out by a pharmacist, often in a hospital pharmacy
