What is Compounding?
Compounding is when a medication is mixed together into a unique mixture for the benefit of a patient. This practice has been around since the beginning of pharmacies and is truly what started the practice of pharmacy. Compounding has always played an important role in the pharmacy. Our Pharmacist works with any willing healthcare provider to design unique medications that would otherwise not be available to a patient commercially. There are several reasons to consider compounded prescription medications. Many particular strengths are needed but unavailable commercially so with compounding we are able to make those strengths. There are many medications that are just not manufactured. In this case, we are able to compound them. Many patients are allergic to preservatives or dyes and we are able to make the medication without the preservatives and dyes. With a physician's prescription, Mike's Pharmacy can change the strength of a medication, alter its form to make it easier for the patient to ingest, and/or add flavor to it to make it more palatable.
