The Modern Role of Compounding Pharmacy
While mass-produced drugs meet most needs, Compounding Pharmacies create customized medications for patients with unique requirements.
Allergies: Removing dyes, preservatives, or gluten for sensitive patients.
Dosage Adjustment: Creating a liquid form of a drug for a child who cannot swallow tablets.
Veterinary Compounding: Flavoring medications (like "tuna-flavored" pills) to help pets take their medicine.
Bioidentical Hormones: Tailoring hormone replacement therapy to a specific patient's blood levels.
