What is a Compounding Pharmacy?
The answer is simple: Commercially manufactured medications aren’t appropriate for everyone. That’s where compounding pharmacies come in. They can create a drug that will achieve the same benefit of a commercially created one, but specifically tailored to the patient.
As the name refers “compounds,” are formulations of pharmaceutical ingredients that can be customized to a patient’s specific needs. This could involve removing an allergen or simply adding a flavor. It’s also a way to get the precise dose a patient needs based on height and weight, medical conditions, etc. Even if the medication is right, the available doses may not be ideal for a particular patient.
Compounding pharmacies also give patients access to pharmaceuticals that aren’t readily available.
