Pharmaceutical compounding combines a historical practice with the latest medical knowledge and state-of-the-art technology, allowing specially trained professionals to prepare customized medications to meet the specific needs of each patient. 

​

Before drugs were manufactured in mass quantities by pharmaceutical companies, compounding was a standard means of providing prescription medications, and is still fundamental to the profession of pharmacy today.

​

The demand for professional compounding has increased as healthcare professionals and patients realize the number of strengths and dosage forms commercially available are limited and do not always meet the needs of many patients. These patients often have a better response to a customized dosage form that is made specifically for them.
