In over 25 years of practice I've been involved in a number of exciting and "cutting edge" experiences ranging from the development of home epidural infusions to developing an award-winning home infusion alternative for HIV patients. All this and a day job too! Yes, I'm the pharmacist who's worked with a local pain specialist to develop high dose (beyond Duraclon) intrathecal clonidine/opiate therapy in this area. My paper describing this therapy was presented December 9th, 1997 in Atlanta at the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting (which now seems like ages ago). If you're interested in this project (which involves compounding clonidine from powder and instillation into a Synchromed Pump) please click here for a copy (it's in .rtf format, readable by most word processors).
Beginning in 1999 we started using more concentrated formulations of hydromorphone, fentanyl, and bupivacaine.

Or pick up a copy of the July/August 2000 edition of the International Journal of Pharmaceutical Compounding.
Since 1996 I've been lecturing pharmacists and physicians across the Pacific Northwest and the country on how to use Internet tools to augment their provision of Pharmaceutical Care (as well as how to best use the 'net for their own needs).
