What is
Compounding?
 The pharmacy art of compounding is the preparation of medications that
are not commercially available for the purpose of meeting specific
patient needs. Compounding pharmacists can play a major role in the
health care setting because of their ability to help solve the most
challenging medication related problems.
For example, many patients are allergic to commonly used fillers, dyes,
binders, and other additives that are used in commercially available
medications. In addition, many medications are available only in a
limited number of strengths and dosage forms. Working with physicians,
innovative compounding pharmacists are continually providing solutions
to medication dosing problems, meeting patients' needs, and providing
improved quality of life.
