What is Compounding?

Customized Medications

No two patients are exactly alike, and the solutions needed to meet their needs are as different as they are. The practice of compounding combines the best components of an ageless art form with the greatest benefits of modern medical knowledge and  technology.  This combination allows the specially trained professionals, at Doug's Pharmacy, to formulate customized medications that will meet each patient’s specific needs.

The demand for professional compounding has increased as healthcare professionals and patients realize that commercially available medications do not always meet the specific needs of each patient. Patients often have a better response to a customized dosage form that precisely meets their needs.
 

Our compounding professionals can prepare:

  • unique dosage formulas:  change to a liquid, suppository, lozenge, lollipop, transdermal gel, or one of many other options
  • the best dose in order for you to achieve your therapeutic goals while minimizing potential side effects and unnecessary cost
  • medications free of problem-causing agents like dyes, sugar, lactose, or alcohol
  • combinations of various compatible medications into a single preparation for easier administration and improved compliance
  • medications that are not commercially available
  • formulas that often provide a more consistent benefit

Not every pharmacy can compound!

Preparation of these specialized medications requires chemicals and equipment that are not available in most pharmacies.  At Doug's Pharmacy, we are extensively trained in compounding techniques.  We also participate in a support network that generates and filters a constant exchange of ideas and techniques that includes several Ph.D chemists and pharmacists who research the feasibility of new formulations. 

The possibilities are endless!  Please contact us with any of your questions.  We are always available to simply offer you information as you participate in the quest for your own better health.  We will work with you to reach that goal.
