What Is Compounding?

Compounding is the process of creating customized medications by a licensed pharmacist to meet the unique and individualized needs of patients when commercially available medications are not suitable or available. This practice involves combining, mixing, or altering pharmaceutical ingredients to create medications that are tailored to specific patient requirements. Our compounding team can customize drug strengths, flavors, application methods and remove allergic ingredients.
