What is Compounding?

We get asked this question a lot! Compounding is the art and science of making customized medication for YOU, the individual patient! Much like the soda fountain, it is an old school part of practicing pharmacy that is too commonly forgotten. Long before the FDA, the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act or Controlled Substance Act, pharmacists could mix up something for you for whatever ailed you based on your symptoms-no prescription required. Fast forward to today and we can work with your doctor to customize your medication so it’s a perfect fit. As a full-service community pharmacy, offering compounding services is another way we can serve you and your loved ones. See below for some examples of how we can compound for you:
