Compounding

What is Compounding?

Compounding is a unique and essential service that allows for personalized medication solutions. Unlike mass-produced medications, compounding involves the creation of custom medications tailored specifically to meet the unique needs of each patient. This personalized approach can be crucial for individuals who may not respond well to standard treatments or who require a dosage form that is not commercially available.

The Art and Science of Customizing Medication

Compounding combines the expertise of a pharmacist with the art and science of preparing individualized medications. The process starts with a prescription from a healthcare provider. Our compounding pharmacist then uses their knowledge and skills to mix and prepare the medication in the exact strength and dosage form specified. This could involve creating a medication in a different form, such as a liquid, cream, or gel, which might be easier for a patient to use.
