Drug Compounding

Drug compounding is the process of creating personalized medications tailored to individual patient needs. When standard drugs don’t meet specific requirements—like altering the form, dosage, or removing allergens—compounding pharmacists prepare custom medications in special labs. This practice ensures patients receive effective treatments suited to their unique health circumstances, such as making a liquid version of a pill or adjusting strength levels. It plays a vital role in healthcare by providing flexible, individualized solutions when commercially available medications are unsuitable or unavailable.
