About Tony Buchta, R.Ph., MBA,
I graduated from The Ohio State University in 1988 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Pharmacy and from Capital University in 2000 with a Masters degree in Business Administration. I completed an extensive compounding school in 1996 at the Professional Compounding Centers of America in Houston, Texas.
I am also a member of the Ohio State Pharmacist Association, the International Association of Compounding Pharmacists and past President of the Academy of Pharmacy of Central Ohio. As a 2005 recipient of the Innovative Pharmacy Practice Award and a member of the advisory panel to Elan Pharmaceuticals, I was a critical part of the ongoing development of Prialt. Through my connections within the local and nationwide pharmaceutical community, I currently present at international conferences on multiple compounding topics. My ties to the community and my alma mater also provide me the opportunity to be involved in numerous research projects conducted through The Ohio State University.
Why I Started Central Ohio Compounding Pharmacy
I started Central Ohio Compounding Pharmacy to aid in solving complex problems for our patients. Through my past experience, I have found that the best way to achieve this goal is to listen to our patients and collaborate with the prescriber to compound the most effective medicines possible. By applying this relationship approach, we have been able to help a vast range of patients from children with allergies, to people needing hormone replacement, to hospice patients suffering from intolerable pain. I strive every day to bring my passion for helping people and knowledge of pharmacy to the patient; which ultimately has a positive impact on their life. I just want to make a difference in people’s lives.
