Every patient is unique, and sometimes commercially available medications don't meet an individual's specific needs. When this happens, your healthcare provider may prescribe a compounded medication that is specially prepared just for you.
Medication compounding is the process of customizing a prescription by combining, altering, or preparing medications in a specific strength, dosage form, or formulation that is not readily available from the manufacturer. This allows patients to receive the treatment they need in a way that best suits their health requirements.
Personalized Medication Solutions
At Fort Royal Pharmacy, our experienced pharmacists are trained in medication compounding and work closely with your physician to prepare personalized medications that are safe, accurate, and tailored to your prescription.
Compounded medications may be appropriate when:
- A medication is not commercially available.
- A specific strength or dosage is required.
- An alternative dosage form is needed, such as a liquid, cream, or topical preparation.
- A patient has difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules.
- Certain ingredients, such as dyes or preservatives, need to be avoided.
