Compounding
When patients do not respond to traditional prescription
medications or have a unique need that requires a customized dosage, strength or
formulation, prescription compounding allows medical professionals to prescribe
a customized medication specifically for patients.

compounding laboratory under the direction of highly trained and experienced compounding
pharmacists. As a compounding pharmacy,
