Eastlakes Pharmacy::What is Compounding?

Compounding is the process by which the pharmacist uses pure ingredients to make your medications

Why would I want/need to have a prescription compounded?

If you need a specific medication, medication strength, or dosage form that is not commericially available, then your medication must be compounded.

(For example, you may want a specific flavor, need a discontinued medication, or need a unique formulation of a medication)

What can't my regular pharmacy compound my prescription?

A compounding pharmacy uses state-of-the-art equipment, chemicals, and advanced techniques to compound and ensure quality products. Other pharmacies do not have the time, equipment, chemicals, or education to custom make your medications.
