What Is Pharmacy Compounding?

Pharmacy Compounding is the creation of a unique medical preparation or drug by a compounding pharmacist.

Opportunities for Patients

It all starts with a problem: the child who can’t swallow pills, the patient with a gluten allergy, the much-needed drug that’s in short supply. For whatever reason, many people aren’t served by mass-produced medications. A compounding pharmacy is able to provide a solution.

Compounding is very personal for patients, who know just how powerful personalized medicine can be.
