Pharmacy compounding

Pharmacy compounding is the process where pharmacists create personalized medications tailored to an individual patient's needs. Instead of dispensing mass-produced drugs, they combine, mix, or alter ingredients to develop custom formulations—such as different dosages, flavors, or forms like creams, liquids, or patches. This approach is useful when standard medications aren’t suitable, such as for allergies, unique dosages, or specialized applications. Compounding ensures patients receive precise treatment options that meet their specific health requirements, guided by professional expertise and quality standards.
