What is compounding?

Compounding is personalizing medications based on a prescriber’s

prescription to meet an individual patient need. Compounding utilizes

raw chemicals or powders to formulate a prescription in the exact

strength and dosage form that your doctor requested.

We often compare it to cooking or baking in which one would use a

recipe and combine multiple ingredients to create a desired outcome.

Why would I need a compounded prescription?

The need for a compounded prescription typically arises from the need

for a medication that is not commercially available. The following are a

few examples of why we would compound your medication:

• Customized strength or dosage 
  
•  Manufactured medication is no longer available 
  
•  Allergy to fillers or dyes 
  
•  Flavor a medication to make it more palatable for a child or pet
