What Is a Compounding Pharmacy?
A compounding pharmacy prepares customized medications by mixing, combining, or altering ingredients to meet specific patient needs. Unlike traditional pharmacies that dispense mass-manufactured medications, compounding pharmacies create personalized formulations.
Common reasons patients need compounded medications include:
- Allergies to dyes, preservatives, or fillers in commercial medications
- Needing a different dosage than what is commercially available
- Requiring an alternative form (liquid instead of pill, cream instead of oral)
- Medications that have been discontinued by manufacturers
- Pediatric or veterinary dosing requirements
- Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy
