"Why does my compounded medication cost more?"
Pricing is something we work hard to keep reasonable, but it's important to know why something costs what it does.
Because compounded medications are made so specifically for each individual, here are the contributing factors:
✓ Ingredients
✓ Packaging and dispensing devices
✓ Technician preparation
✓ Pharmacist review and verification
✓ Individualized compounding and quality checks
Every capsule, troche, cream, suspension, or suppository is prepared for a specific patient and prescription.
That's also why larger supplies are often more cost-effective. The same process is required whether we're making a 30-day supply or a 90-day supply, allowing larger quantities to be prepared more efficiently.
Customized medications require customized care—and that's exactly what compounding provides.
