Compounding 101: Custom Medications and Tiered LDN Pricing at Westmont Pharmacy
Not every medication comes in the dose, strength, or form that works best for you — that’s where a compounding pharmacy comes in. Westmont Pharmacy’s compounding pharmacists work directly with your prescriber to create custom formulations tailored to your needs, including tiered-pricing low-dose naltrexone (LDN).
What a Compounding Pharmacy Does
A compounded medication is prepared by a licensed pharmacy according to a prescriber’s specific order — often used when a commercial version isn’t available in the strength, form, or combination a patient needs, or when someone can’t tolerate a standard formulation’s fillers, dyes, or preservatives. Compounded medications are prepared under pharmacy regulations but are not individually FDA-approved the way a mass-manufactured drug is, so working with an experienced compounding pharmacy matters.
Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN) Pricing
One of our most requested compounded medications is low-dose naltrexone, prescribed by some providers for a range of conditions. We offer tiered pricing on LDN so patients can choose the option that fits their needs — ask our pharmacists about current pricing tiers.
Beyond LDN: More From Our Compounding Pharmacy
Our compounding capabilities extend to flavoring for pediatric and veterinary prescriptions, alternative dosage forms like capsules, creams, and troches for patients who have trouble swallowing pills, and discontinued or hard-to-find strengths. If a commercial product isn’t working for you, ask whether a compounded alternative might.
How to Get Started
Compounding requires a prescription from your provider specifying the formulation. If you’re not sure whether what you need can be compounded, call or stop by Westmont Pharmacy, Mon–Fri 9am–4pm, and our pharmacists will walk you through the options and pricing.
