Pharmaceutical compounding is the mixing of drugs by a pharmacist to fit the unique needs of a patient. This may be done for medically necessary reasons, such as to change the form of the medication from a solid pill to a liquid, to avoid a non-essential ingredient that the patient is allergic to, or to obtain the exact dose needed. It may also be done for voluntary reasons, such as adding favorite flavors to a medication.
Before mass production of medications became normal, compounding was a routine activity among pharmacists. Community pharmacists who have experience with compounding techniques are now less common. Contact us for further information regarding our compounding pharmacy or to request a refill.
Some of the Many Different Needs for Compounding Medicine:
• Patients requiring limited dosage strengths, such as a very small dose for infants.
• Patients requiring a different formulation, such as turning a pill into a liquid or transdermal gel for people who can’t swallow pills due to disability.
• Patients requiring an allergen-free medication, such as one without gluten or colored dyes.
• Patients who need drugs that have been discontinued by pharmaceutical manufacturers because of low profitability.
• Children who want flavored additives in liquid drugs, usually so that the medication tastes like candy or fruit.
• Animals that need specialized veterinary medications changed in dose, with added flavor to make it more palatable to the animal, or changed to a
more easily administered form, such as from a pill to a liquid or transdermal gel.
• Many types of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy where compounding is used to promote (without justification) the idea of “individualized”
prescriptions.
