Compounded Medications

Pharmaceutical compounding (done in compounding pharmacies) is the creation of a particular pharmaceutical product to fit the unique needs of a patient. To do this, compounding pharmacists combine or process appropriate ingredients using various tools. 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(s) needed or deemed best of particular active pharmaceutical ingredient(s). It may also be done for more optional reasons, such as adding flavors to a medication or otherwise altering taste or texture.

Compounded medication can also take the form of but is not limited to:

- Creams, Lotions, Gels, Powders, etc., for Skin/Scalp application

- Topical Pain Creams/Gels

- Tran dermal Gels that Deliver Medicine Through The Skin

- Liquids for Oral, or Tube Administration (G-tube or J-tube)
