What is Compounding / What Does Compounding Mean?

Compounding is the practice of combining the latest medical knowledge with state-of-the-art technology together to make customized medications from scratch. Compounding, once the foundation of pharmacy practice has become less common. At Ashbrittle Pharmacy we have maintained the practice of compounding. Our team of professionals have each received specialized training in the art and science of compounding that enables them to prepare customized medications from scratch to meet the unique needs of patients and physicians alike.

The demand for professional compounding has increased as commercially available products have gone on extended backorders or otherwise become unavailable. Furthermore, commercially available products often fall short of meeting a patients needs due to the strengths available or the inclusion or exclusion of certain ingredients.
