Discover the Benefits of Compounded Medication
Compounded medications offer healthcare professionals the flexibility to prescribe the appropriate strength, route of administration and combination of active ingredients, allowing them to determine the optimal approach for each patient.
Compounded medications allow prescribing healthcare providers to:
Prescribe doses that are not commercially available
Avoid ingredients that the patient cannot tolerate
Convert an oral medication to a topical cream to bypass first-pass metabolism
Offer combinations of medications in a single vehicle
Compounding also offers a solution when commercially available drugs are inappropriate or unavailable. This can improve the patient’s health and enhance a prescriber’s practice.
Compounded medications may be used to:
- Improve patient compliance
- Limit dosage strengths
- Expand limited dosage strengths and forms that are commercially available
- Substitute for a discontinued drug
- Provide a drug that is temporarily unavailable from the manufacturer
- Provide drugs for clinical studies
