In today’s world of medicine, we’re seeing a trend of doctors prescribing drugs for personalized needs for specific patients. This is where compounding pharmacies come into play. Compounding pharmacists are specialized in customizing prescriptions that meet individual needs and provide personalized care. To compound a medication is to mix, or combine, like ingredients of different substances in order to make something new.
Compounding pharmacies are able to compound medication for licensed pharmacies. This can be done using either safe generic medication or raw materials commonly used as drugs. Compounding pharmacies have been called in to help when other options have not worked out on their own, such as with drugs that have gone off-patent, drugs that are too expensive, or drugs that don’t exist in the proper formulation. They also serve patients with complex health needs who need customized formulations of a drug.
We focus on what we know best – using our skills and education to prepare customized products for those who need them and choose them over the commercially available “one size fits all” products. When a pharmacy wants a preparation that meets their patients’ needs, they can contact our pharmacists.
