Compounding Pharmacies

Compounding pharmacies are specialized pharmacies that formulate and prepare personalized medications for patients. Instead of providing only the standard dosages and forms of medications commonly available, these pharmacies can alter the form, strength, and flavor of a drug to suit a patient’s specific needs. This can include formulating medications into specialized flavor profiles for oral solutions, producing topical creams, transdermal gels, suppositories, or other tailored dosage forms. Such customizations can be essential for patients who have allergies to certain ingredients in commercial medications, require a specific dosage not commercially available, or need a more palatable flavor for easier ingestion.
