At Debbie's Family Pharmacy, we specialize in tailored healthcare solutions that meet your unique needs. Compounded medications offer personalized options that traditional mass-produced medicines can't provide.

Let's delve into the basics:

​

What is Compounded Medication?

Compounded medication is the art and science of creating customized pharmaceuticals to fit individual patient requirements. These medications are prepared by pharmacists and pharmacy technicians who blend or alter ingredients to create a medication that is specifically formulated for you.

​

Why Choose Compounded Medications?

1. Personalized Dosages: Compounded medications allow for precise dosing tailored to your specific needs, whether it's adjusting dosage strengths, removing allergens, or combining multiple medications into one convenient dosage form.

2. Alternative Ingredients: If you have allergies or sensitivities to certain ingredients found in commercially available medications, compounded medications offer the flexibility to exclude these ingredients or find suitable alternatives.

3. Unique Formulations: Compounding pharmacists can prepare medications in various forms such as creams, gels, liquids, suppositories, or troches, making it easier for patients who have difficulty swallowing pills or need specific application methods.

4. Unavailable Medications: Sometimes, commercial medications may be temporarily or permanently unavailable. Compounded medications can be formulated as an alternative solution when your prescribed medication is not readily accessible.

5. Veterinary Care: Compounded medications are not limited to human use. They're also beneficial for our furry friends, allowing veterinarians to tailor dosages and formulations for pets.

 

How Does Compounding Work?

The compounding process begins with a prescription from your healthcare provider. The pharmacy team then works closely with you and your prescriber to understand your specific needs, preferences, and any allergy concerns. Based on this information, your prescription is carefully compounded, ensuring accuracy, quality, and safety.
