What We Do

Compounding, tailored to the patient

Compounding is the process of mixing drugs by a specially trained professional to fit the unique needs of a patient — restoring a practice that predates mass-produced pharmaceuticals.

What It Is

What is compounding?

Compounding predates mass-produced medicine — it was how every prescription was filled before pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Compounding is the process of mixing drugs by a specially trained professional to fit the unique needs of a patient. It was a standard means of providing prescription medications before drugs began to be produced in mass quantities by pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Today, compounding is still fundamental to the profession of pharmacy, and demand for compounded medications is increasing. Patients and healthcare professionals realize that the strengths and dosage forms of commercially available medications are limited and do not always meet the special needs of many patients.

A physician can prescribe an individually compounded medication for a patient with an unusual health need. This allows the physician to tailor a prescription to each individual.

Our pharmacists can prepare

Precise dosage strengths

For patients who need a limited strength — such as a very small dose for an infant.

Dosage forms you can't buy

Troches, transdermal gels, lollipops, and chewies that aren't commercially available.

Allergen-free formulations

Made without gluten, alcohol, or color dyes for patients who can't tolerate them.

Combination medications

Several compatible drugs in a single dose — simpler to take, easier to stay consistent with.

Discontinued medications

Drugs that manufacturers stopped producing because of low profitability, but patients still depend on.
