What Is Drug Compounding?

Compounding is the art and science of mixing two or more drugs to fill a doctor’s prescription. Physicians prescribe compounded medications when they believe that it is the best medical therapy for the patient.

Compounded prescriptions are ideal for any patient requiring unique dosages and/or delivery devices, which can take the form of solutions, suspensions, suppositories, sprays, injections, pellets, oral rinses, lollipops and even as transdermal gels and creams.

Compounding applications can include:

Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy
Veterinary
Hospice
Pediatric
OpthalmicDental
Otic
Dermatology
Chronic Pain Management
Neuropathies
Infertility
Wound Therapy
Podiatry
Gastroenterology
Sports Medicine
Medication Flavoring

Compounding has been part of healthcare since the origins of pharmacy, and is widely used today in all areas of the industry, from hospitals to nuclear medicine. Over the last decade, compounding’s resurgence has largely benefited from advances in technology, quality control and research methodology. The Food and Drug Administration has stated that compounded prescriptions are both ethical and legal as long as they are prescribed by a licensed practitioner for a specific patient, and compounded by a licensed pharmacy. In addition, compounding is regulated by the state boards of pharmacy.

In every field of medicine, there are some patients who don’t respond to traditional methods of treatments. Those patients may need strengths not manufactured by drug companies, or they simply need a different method of ingesting the medicine. Many patients may respond better to medications not currently available from drug manufacturers.

Pharmaceutical compounding meets these needs. It provides a way for doctors and compounding pharmacists to customize an individualized prescription for the specific needs of their patient.
