What is Compounding:

Compounding is the art and science of preparing personalized medications by combining, mixing, or altering pharmaceutical ingredients to create a medication tailored to the specific needs of an individual patient based on a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider.

Unlike mass-produced medications that come in standard dosages and forms, compounded medications are customized to address:

Medication Strength Adjustments Creating precise dosages not commercially available - stronger, weaker, or in-between standard strengths.

Allergen and Ingredient Elimination Removing unwanted ingredients such as dyes, preservatives, lactose, gluten, sugar, or other allergens that may cause reactions.

Dosage Form Modifications Transforming medications into alternative forms - from pills to liquids, creams, gels, suppositories, troches, transdermal preparations, or flavored suspensions.

Flavor Customization Adding pleasant flavors to make medications more palatable, especially important for children and pets.

Combination Formulations Combining multiple active ingredients into a single dosage form for simplified medication regimens.

Discontinued Medication Recreation Recreating medications that are no longer commercially manufactured but remain medically necessary.fvggv ggb
