What is Compounding?
Compounding offers a unique and innovative approach to customizing medications to meet individual patient needs. By blending the latest advancements in medicine with the time-honored practices of pharmacy, our compounding services provide tailored treatment options that go beyond what's commercially available.
Compounding pharmacies can create specialized dosage forms to accommodate patient preferences or restrictions, such as dye-free, preservative-free, alcohol-free, and sugar-free medications. This customization includes unique medication combinations or alternative forms that are not otherwise accessible.
Our pharmacists are highly trained in preparing a wide variety of formulations, including ointments, gels, syrups, suspensions, suppositories, and capsules. These customized medications can simplify administration, address specific health concerns, and enhance overall well-being more efficiently.
Compounded medications are safe and effective for many patients when prescribed by a healthcare provider. They are prepared and dispensed only with a valid, patient-specific prescription, ensuring personalized care.
Compounding fosters a collaborative relationship between the patient, physician, and pharmacist. Together, they work to find alternative treatment options that best suit the patient's unique needs when standard treatments fall short.
