What Is Compounding

What is Compounding

Compounding is an art and science of creating unique specific formulation or tailored medication to meet the specific needs of the patients. A growing number of people and animals have unique health needs that off-the-shelf, one-size-fits-all prescription medicines cannot meet. For them, customized medications are the only way to provide better health and are often life-saving.

Why Customized Medication is Important?

  • Get access to make short / discontinued medications

    • When pharmaceutical companies discontinue production of a particular medicine who fill the patient's prescription or little demand for a drug but are not prepared by manufacturer Compounding play essential role in providing access to discontinued medications by re-making pharmaceutical based ingredients in order to make sure that patients get the required care.

  • Prepare Medication Easier To Use

    • Some medicines have very bitter taste, making it difficult for patients to take them as prescribed. Compounding ensures to custom make the prescription as per the patient's flavor of choice. This is challenging when dealing with patients who may refuse medicine like children, old age patients and even pets.

  • Creates Alternative Dosage Forms

    • Each Patient requires unique care of treatment, some patients have problem in swallowing pills and some have fear of injectables they may demand for their medication in different dosage form e.g in pleasant flavored liquid and or in suppositories. Compounding can create various dosage forms ensuring the optimum method of compliance for the patients.

  • Making Medication Allergy-friendly

    • Some patients may experience allergies, sensitivity or any unwanted reaction.In other words commercially available medications may have excipients such as dyes, fillers and preservatives that cannot be tolerated by patients having sensitivity or may get allergic to these substances. A compounding make-sure to prepare formula without any offensive ingredients for the benefit of patients.

  • Offering Unique Services

    • Compounding allows the pharmacist to use their extensive drug knowledge to help the patient and prescriber create a truly unique treatment plan.
