Compounding Pharmacies

Compounding pharmacies are specialized pharmacies that create customized medications to meet specific patient needs. Unlike standard pharmacies that dispense mass-produced drugs, compounding pharmacists combine, mix, or alter ingredients to formulate medications tailored to individual prescriptions. This can include adjusting dosages, changing forms (like turning a pill into a liquid), or removing allergens. Compounding is especially useful for patients with unique health conditions, allergies, or those requiring a specific dosage that isn't commercially available. These pharmacies prioritize patient care by providing personalized solutions that enhance treatment effectiveness.
