What is compounding?

A compounded prescription is a custom medication prepared by a pharmacist to meet an individual patient’s medical needs.

Why might a patient need compounding?

Ingredient Sensitivities

An appropriate formulation may avoid a problematic ingredient, such as a dye, lactose, gluten, or preservative.

Alternative Forms

A prescribed liquid or topical preparation may be an option when a standard form is unsuitable.

Individualized Strengths

A prescriber may request a strength that is not commercially available.

Unavailable Medications

Ask whether a compounded option is appropriate and permitted when a medication is unavailable.

Your compounding questions, answered

Do I need a prescription?

Yes. A valid prescription from a licensed healthcare provider is required for compounded prescription medications. Our pharmacist can work with your prescriber to develop a customized medication when a commercially available option does not meet your individual medical needs.

What forms can be prepared?

Compounded medications may be prepared in various forms, including capsules, oral liquids, topical creams, gels, and other specialized formulations. Available options depend on the medication, prescription requirements, and suitability of the formulation. Our pharmacist can discuss appropriate alternatives with your healthcare provider.

How long will preparation take?

Preparation times vary depending on the medication, formulation complexity, and ingredient availability. Some prescriptions may require additional preparation time or special ordering of ingredients. Our pharmacy will provide an estimated completion time when reviewing your prescription and notify you when your medication is ready.

What will my prescription cost?

The cost of a compounded prescription depends on the ingredients, dosage, formulation, and preparation requirements. Because compounded medications are customized, pricing may vary. Our pharmacy will review your prescription and provide pricing information before preparation. Insurance coverage varies by plan, and many compounded medications may not be covered.

Are compounded medications FDA-approved?

Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. However, they are prepared by licensed pharmacists in accordance with applicable federal and state regulations. Compounding provides an option for patients whose medical needs cannot be met by an FDA-approved, commercially available medication.
