Prescription Compounding
Pharmaceutical Compounding is the art and science of preparing customized medications to meet specific patient’s needs. Compounding pharmacists work together with physicians and their patients to develop the most appropriate therapy for each individual.
The demand for professional compounding has increased as healthcare professionals and patients realize that the limited number of strengths and dosage forms that are commercially available do not meet the needs of many patients. Many patients often have a better response to a customized dosage form.
