Compounding is an old tradition of specially preparing medicines to meet the patient's individual needs. In other words, with compounding, medications can basically be personalized for you.

Compounding can modify a medication:

  • To any desired dosage amount or
  • Into a different form. For example, turning a hard to swallow pill into a patch or an injectible drug.

All compounds are based on a doctor's prescription, and are automatically approved by the FDA because they do not create an unapproved drug.

Your insurance company may even pay for all or part of a compounded medication.

To find a compounder, go to ww offsite linkw.ijpc.com offsite link (the site of the International Journal of Pharmaceutical Compounding) or call the International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists at 800.927.4227.
