| What is Compounding?
Drug compounding is the customization of a drug requested by a physician that requires a specific drug dosage not currently produced by a commercial drug manufacturer. Drug compounding is performed by a pharmacist or certified pharmacy technician and is customized according to a patient’s specific dosage need.
As healthcare professionals and patients realize that there are a limited number of strengths and dosage forms commercially-available and they may not meet the precise needs of many patients, the demand for a professional compounding pharmacy and patient-specific dosing has considerably increased.

Discontinued medication, the inability to swallow large pills, allergies, obscure dosage amounts and non-commercial medications are but a few reasons that someone may need Custom Compounding.
