When prescribed, compounding can provide a customized strength, ingredient combination, or dosage form for an individual patient.
Compounding is the preparation of a medication for an individual patient from a valid prescription. A prescriber may request a particular strength, ingredient combination, or dosage form when an available manufactured product does not meet that patient's identified needs.
Depending on the prescription and formulation, a medication may be prepared as a capsule, liquid, cream, ointment, or another appropriate form. Availability varies, and the pharmacist must confirm that the requested preparation is feasible.
The prescriber establishes the clinical plan. Our pharmacist reviews the order, resolves formulation questions with the prescriber when necessary, prepares the medication under applicable standards, and provides patient directions.
A clear, coordinated path keeps the prescriber, patient, and pharmacist connected.
