What is Compounding?
You know the saying, "no two snowflakes are the same"? Well
that's true for people too. No two bodies are exactly alike, thus
there's no surprise that different people would need specially
formulated medications with specific dosages and strengths that
responds more efficiently with their body. While most prescriptions
prepared by drug manufacturers work for most people, they may not
work for everyone.
A compounded medication is prepared by a pharmacist from scratch
combining precise quantities and dosages of raw materials into a
highly patient-specific medication.
Compounded medications can be prescribed for a variety of reasons
such as:
- Formulating difficult-to-swallow pills into tasty liquids
- Combining multiple medications into a single compound or
dose
- Preparing medication compounds that are not commercially
available
- Formulating medication compounds in an allergen-free
formula
Compounding medications can be of assistance for many of life's
problems which include:
- Hormone Restoration Therapy
- Anti-Aging Compounds
- Dermatological Compounds
- Pediatric Compounds
- Dental Compounds
- Pain Management Compounds
Compounded medications are available in many different dosage
forms which include:
- Regular or Sustained Release Capsules
- Solutions and Suspensions
- Sublingual Troches and Drops
- Creams and Gels
- Suppositories
