Compounding is the art and science of customizing medication for an individual need. At Medicine Chest Pharmacy we get excited about tailoring your medications, as we know it can really improve your quality of care. Compounding can involve simply changing the form a medication comes in, from tablet to liquids, or can become much more advanced. Often compounding goes back to taking the raw ingredients and putting them in a combination and form that works for a specific adult, child, infant or animal. These raw ingredients are put together into different delivery methods such as:
creams- gels
- powders
- lotions
- nasal sprays
- aerosols
- lollipops
- suppositories
- rapid dissolve tablets/gels
- plus more
In other cases, compounding may involve creating a product with no colours or additives for individuals who are sensitive to such ingredients.
