What is compounding?
Pharmacy compounding is the art and science of preparing personalized medications for patients. Compounded medications are made based on a prescription in which individual ingredients are mixed together in the exact strength and dosage form required by the patient. This method allows the compounding pharmacist to work with the patient and the prescriber to customize a medication to meet the patient’s specific needs.
Why would I want or need to have a prescription compounded?
If you need specific medication, medication strength, or a dosage form that is not commercially available, your medication must be compounded.
Why can’t my regular pharmacy compound my prescription?
A compounding pharmacy uses state-of-the-art equipment, chemicals, and advanced techniques to compound and ensure quality products. Other pharmacies do not have the time, equipment, chemicals or education to “custom-make” your prescriptions.
