Frequently Asked Questions
Some of our most frequently asked questions
What is compounding?
Pharmaceutical compounding is about you. It is the art and science of preparing personalized medications for patients. Trained pharmacists and technicians make compounded medication per a practitioner’s prescription by mixing (i.e., compounding) multiple ingredients into one formulation. The result is a personalized medication with the exact strength and dosage form required to fit a patient’s individual needs.
Is compounding medication right for me?
Your physician may have discussed compounding medication as a treatment option if you:
Have allergies, restrictions, unfavorable reactions, or are sensitive to ingredients in medications Are prescribed a medication dosage that is not available by commercial manufacturers Need a medication that has been discontinued Have difficulties taking your medication Prefer a different drug form (cream, lollipop, liquid, injections, etc.) Require lower or higher doses of a drug
Are compounded prescriptions covered by insurance?
Yes, compounded prescriptions can be covered by most insurance plans and we accept most forms, including, Medicare and Medicaid. In the event the medication is excluded from your insurance coverage, we work with patients and their providers to come up with cost-effective treatment options.
