Compounding

Compounding

A compounding pharmacy makes custom medication tailored to individual needs. For example:

  • If you are allergic to an inactive ingredient in a prescribed medication, such as a preservative or dye, our pharmacist can compound that medication without that inactive ingredient.
  • If your child cannot swallow pills, we can make a liquid option that he or she can take more easily.
  • If your pet needs a medication that is not commercially made or needs to be specially flavored, we can work to compound what they need.

At The Medicine Shoppe® Pharmacy, our focus is on your health and wellness. Talk to our pharmacist about using compounding to tailor your medication to your unique needs. Together with your doctor, we can find a treatment that works for you.
