What Is Prescription Compounding?
Compounding is the preparation of a medication tailored to an individual patient. When a commercially available drug isn’t the right fit — a strength that isn’t made, a pill that’s too hard to swallow, or an ingredient a patient can’t tolerate — a compounding pharmacist works with your doctor or veterinarian to prepare a version that is.
