Medication Customized For You
Pharmacy compounding is the science of preparing personalized medications for patients. Compounded prescriptions are “made from scratch” – individual ingredients are mixed together in the exact strength and dosage form required by the patient and their prescriber. Compounding allows the pharmacist to work with the patient and the prescriber to customize a medication to meet the patient’s specific needs.
At one time, nearly all prescriptions were compounded. Over time, the pharmacist’s role in compounding changed as medicines were mass produced by manufacturers. This caused many mass-produced medications to not meet the needs of all patients any longer.
Compounding now has experienced a resurgence as modern technology, innovative techniques and research have allowed more pharmacists to customize medications to meet specific patient needs to an even far greater extent than early compounding had ever done.
