COMPOUNDING
About Compounding
Compounding your medication refers to the individual formulating your medicine to meet specific health care needs for each patient. To do this, the triad relationship between the patient, the doctor, and the compounding pharmacist is important.
There are many reasons for compounding:
- The patient is allergic/sensitive to dyes or preservatives.
- The patient is sensitive to the standard strength of the medication.
- The patient cannot swallow medication - Medication can be prepared in many different easy-to-take forms.
- Medication is discontinued commercially or unavailable commercially.
Benefits of compounding your medication:
- Change strength.
- Change the form of the dose.
- Add flavour to make it better tasting.
