Customized Compounding

Mass production of potent medicines has provided billions of dollars for research and innovation.  Surgeries, hospitalizations, disability and death have been avoided because of these "medical miracles." 

But these increasingly more potent medicines create new risks.  Trying to fashion a manufactured drug and dose as the solution for all patients' problems is as effective as trying to fit all feet into the same size shoes.  Every individual is different with individual needs.

Customized compounding is the use of pure ingredients to prepare patient-specific medications. It allows physicians, patients, and pharmacists to work together to find the best method of delivery, dosage form, strength and formula.  Many times older, less expensive medicines satisfy particular needs better than newer, more expensive compounds.  Compounding pharmacists offer another tool that patients and physicians can use to reduce medication-related problems.
