Compounding

Sometimes a medication prescribed by a doctor is so unique and individualized, the medication isn’t commercially available. That’s where compounding comes in. A compound is prescribed medication we are able to make in our lab, to exact specifications. We specialize in the art of compounding.

Here’s another way to look at it: “One size does not fit all,” and we are able to prepare medications to fit the strength, dose, and administration route that best suits a patient.

Yes. We are a full-service pharmacy, so we can fill any prescription you need.

Yes. Because compounds are specially-made, they take longer. Wait times vary from 15 minutes to 48 hours, depending on the medication.

Whether or not your compound prescription is covered by your insurance depends on your plan. Approximately 10% of insurance plans cover compounds. We are able to bill your insurance for compounds at the time you fill, and can tell you 1) if your plan covers the compound and 2) what portion (how much) they cover.

If your plan does not cover the compound, we make every effort to ensure affordable access to the medication you need by providing economical, competitive pricing.

While conferring with physicians, we evaluate what administration route is most convenient, while still maintaining a high level of efficacy.

Forms include capsules, lollipops, creams, ointments, lozenges, gels, liquids, suppositories, and rapid dissolve tablets.

As a compounding pharmacy, we can make allergy-friendly medication for any patient with issues involving lactose, preservatives, dyes, gluten, or sugar.

Patients who may struggle with taking their medication due to difficulty swallowing, sensitivity to taste, or trouble cooperating take comfort in our ability to compound. Patients in this category include young children, elderly patients, and even pets.
