503A Pharmacies

A 503A pharmacy, also known as a traditional compounding pharmacy, prepares medications on a patient-by-patient basis based on a doctor’s prescription. They follow strict federal and state regulations to ensure safety, quality, and proper dosage. These pharmacies typically compound personalized medications that are not commercially available, such as specialized creams or liquid forms. Unlike large manufacturing facilities, 503A pharmacies focus on individualized care, adhering to specific guidelines to protect patients while providing custom treatments tailored to unique medical needs.
