Compounding Services
Ask your prescriber about customized medication options prepared to meet your specific prescription needs.
Customized Prescriptions
When a commercially available medication does not suit a patient’s needs, a prescriber may request a compounded option. A pharmacist prepares the medication according to the prescription, which may specify ingredients, strength, or form. The pharmacy reviews each request for feasibility and follows applicable requirements. Your prescriber determines whether compounding is appropriate for your care.
Alternate Dosage Forms
Some patients have difficulty swallowing a tablet or need a medication in a different form. A prescriber can discuss whether a compounded liquid, topical preparation, or other dosage form is suitable. The available options depend on the medication and prescription. The pharmacist can explain preparation and use instructions and coordinate questions with your prescriber.
Medication Consultation
A pharmacist can review the details of a compounding request, explain how a preparation should be stored and used, and answer questions about its ingredients. Bring your prescription and share relevant medication information when asking about an option. For changes to your treatment plan, consult your prescriber. The pharmacy can coordinate with the prescriber when clarification is needed.
