CUSTOMIZED MEDICINE
Compounding is a long-standing art of pharmacy. Taking certain ingredients and altering their form into a liquid or cream is the essence of compounding. It’s a highly specialized way of helping a patient avoid certain drug ingredients they may be allergic to or creating a completely new dosage of a medication to meet a patient’s particular need.
INDIVIDUALIZED PRESCRIPTIONS
Compounding allows for certain medicines that are FDA-approved but may not meet a patients need to be altered giving the patient the right dosage, form, and strength to achieve therapeutic results being sought.
Doctors write for compounds when they believe one particular strength or form of a medication may not achieve the desired results for a patient’s condition or illness.
