FAQs

  • The practice of creating a personalized medication that is not available commercially in dose, form, or method of delivery that meets your specific needs.

  • You may not be able to swallow the tablet, and need it in a liquid. Or you may be allergic to one of the ingredients in the commercially available medication. Or you may need a customized dose.

  • We make creams, ointments, vaginal and rectal suppositories, suspensions and solutions, troches, gels, sublingual drops, and capsules.

  • Your medical provider must write a prescription, indicating it is to be compounded for you. If it is available commercially, then it can't be compounded unless there is a specific reason; allergy to component, not available in dose or form you need.

  • Many insurances will pay for compounded medications, but some do not. It may also depend on what the compound is for and/or the type of compound.

  • Our compounding pharmacists and technicians have completed specialized training thru PCCA and grow their knowledge and skills through continuing education courses all year.

  • Yes! Many human medications are used by pets. We can customize them to the right dose or form for your pet. For example, certain medications absorb very well when applied to a feline's thin skin on their ear. So we can make the medication into a cream. We can also add flavors, like chicken, to liquid medications, that pets love.
