Compounding pharmacist and owner of Agbi’s Compounding Pharmacy in Pikesville, Maryland, Kelechi Agbi, PharmD, BCGP, RPh and author of the 2021 International Journal of Pharmaceutical Compounding article, ‘Glycopyrrolate Sorbitol Lollipops for Drooling: Two Case Reports’ discusses his experience and the value he found collaborating with PCCA Science.

What was your reason for developing and executing case studies with PCCA Science? 

To demonstrate with consistency the indispensable and unique contribution compounding pharmacists make in the lives of patients and for the healthcare system as a whole. Also, so we could make the information provided by the case studies available to clinicians all over the world for the betterment and benefit of patients. Finally, we wanted to demonstrate the reliability and quality of PCCA pharmaceutical resources.

How have you incorporated the case studies into conversations with practitioners?

Since all of my case studies demonstrate alternative and nonconventional ways of treating diseases, my conversation with practitioners hinges on the fact that my pharmacy is happy to provide physicians and healthcare practitioners in general with alternative therapies based on sound clinical studies when desired clinical outcomes are not achievable by conventional modalities. Nevertheless, we help with conventional therapies as well.

How have you used these studies within your pharmacy practice?

We display copies of the studies in the pharmacy for our patients to witness the uniqueness and quality of practice and services.

What was the impact of these studies on your business growth?

The studies have helped us grow our business by strengthening our confidence based on our previous professional achievements. They have given us exposure— both local and distant clinicians have referred patients to us. With those referrals we have experienced about 20% increase in business growth from the exposure and awareness generated through the studies.
