General Questions About Compounding:

What is a compounding pharmacy?

A compounding pharmacy makes custom medications just for you. Whether it’s adjusting dosage, combining ingredients, or removing allergens, we tailor each prescription to fit your specific health needs—something you won’t always get from standard, mass-produced medications.

How is compounded medication different from regular prescriptions?

Regular prescriptions are mass-produced and made to fit most people. Compounded medications are custom-made by a pharmacist to match your exact needs—like a specific dose, form (such as a cream or liquid), or ingredient that isn’t available in standard medications.

Do you need a prescription for compounded medications?

Yes—just like with traditional medications, a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider is required for compounded medications. This ensures each formulation is tailored safely and appropriately to your specific health needs.

Can you compound a medication that’s currently unavailable or discontinued?

In many cases, yes. If a medication is out of stock or no longer commercially available, our pharmacists may be able to recreate it through compounding—provided we have access to the necessary ingredients and a valid prescription from your healthcare provider.

Can you flavor medications for children or pets?

Yes! We can add kid-friendly or pet-approved flavors to help make medications easier to take. From bubblegum and grape to chicken or beef, we offer a variety of options to suit individual preferences—without compromising the effectiveness of the medication.

Can you change the form of a medication (e.g., pill to liquid or cream)?

Yes, we can. If swallowing pills is difficult or a different form is better suited to your needs, we can compound medications into liquids, creams, gels, troches, or other alternatives—making them easier and more comfortable to take. This is especially helpful for children, elderly patients, pets, or anyone with difficulty swallowing or requiring localized treatment.

Can you combine multiple medications into a single dose?

Yes, in many cases we can combine compatible medications into a single dosage form—such as a capsule, cream, or lozenge—to simplify your treatment routine. This is especially useful for hormone replacement therapies, dermatological treatments, and pain management, helping improve convenience and adherence to your care plan.

Do you offer dermatological or pain management compounding?

Doctor & Prescription Questions

Can you work with my doctor to create a custom medication?

Absolutely. We regularly collaborate with physicians and healthcare providers to develop personalized medications tailored to your specific needs. With a prescription and clinical guidance, our pharmacists can formulate custom solutions that support your treatment plan and optimize outcomes.

Are you a provider? We welcome direct communication—please contact our pharmacy to discuss how we can support your patients with custom-compounded care.

Do you need special instructions from the prescriber for compounding?

Our team works closely with prescribers to ensure all necessary information is included for safe and effective compounding.

How much does compounded medication cost, and is it covered by insurance?

The cost of compounded medications can vary based on the ingredients, formulation complexity, and dosage form. While some insurance plans may reimburse for compounded prescriptions, coverage is not guaranteed and depends on your specific policy. We’re happy to provide a price quote in advance and can supply the necessary documentation for insurance reimbursement.

We also accept HSA and FSA cards, making it easier to use pre-tax dollars for your personalized care.

Can you provide a quote before compounding?

Yes, absolutely. We’re happy to provide a price quote before your medication is prepared. Just reach out with your prescription details, and our team will give you a clear estimate based on the formulation and ingredients required—so you know exactly what to expect.
