What Is a Compounding Pharmacy?

What Is a Compounding Pharmacy? In a standard pharmacy like Walgreens, Rite-Aid, or CVS, medications are mass produced to suit most people. It’s a one-size-fits-all method of dispensing medication. However, since we’re not all the same, our healthcare needs may need to be individualized with customized medication that is formulated just for us.

This is where a compounding pharmacy can help.

What does it mean when a medication is compounded? What is a compounded drug? Compounding medication is the practice of formulating medications to meet specific patient needs. Sometimes viewed as creating medications from scratch, specially trained and licensed pharmacists at compounding pharmacies can moderate dosage strength as well as adjust the form the medication is dispensed so it is easier and more comfortable for the patient. Working closely with your doctor, medications can be customized to help you achieve better results.

Why use a compounding pharmacy?

1. If you have sensitivities or allergies to preservatives, dyes, or fillers
2. When you need a different dosage strength than mass-produced medicine
3. If you need medication in an alternate form like a liquid or powder
4. If you need medications that are currently unavailable
