COMPOUNDING
What is Compounding?
Simply put, it is the act of creating a customized prescription that can be tailored to meet individual needs and usually, solve a medication problem. Upon receipt of a physician’s prescription, the pharmacist custom makes the medication from scratch using pharmaceutical-grade chemicals or a manufactured medication as the base. It’s made into the dosage form – capsules, a liquid suspension, lozenges, topical creams, even chewables – that provides the maximum benefit from the medication that’s been prescribed.
When is compounding right for you?
Today, compounding pharmacists have access to more medications, more technology and more research data than ever before. This means you don’t have to settle for medication that is not the perfect fit for you and your body’s needs.
