When it comes to your health, you want the best care possible. Sometimes, a one-size-fits-all solution isn’t the best option, and that’s where compounding pharmacy services come in.
What Is Compounding Pharmacy?
Compounding pharmacy is the practice of creating customized medications for patients. These medications are made by a pharmacist to fit your specific health needs.
It could be altering the dosage of a medication, creating a new form like a cream or liquid, or even removing certain ingredients if you’re allergic or sensitive to them.
Why Choose Compounded Medications?
- Personalized Care
Every person’s body is different. When you choose compounded medications, you’re getting a medication made just for you. This could mean adjusting the dosage, combining multiple medications into one, or creating a form that’s easier for you to take (like a liquid or topical cream). - For Children & Seniors
Compounding can be especially helpful for children or seniors who may have trouble swallowing pills or need a special dosage. With custom compounded medications at Gattis Pharmacy, we can create the right solution that works for your loved one. - Addressing Allergies and Sensitivities
Some medications contain ingredients that you might be allergic to or that cause side effects. Compounding allows us to remove those ingredients and make sure you’re only getting what you need—without the unwanted fillers. - Unique Treatments
Compounded medications are also ideal for treating rare conditions or when commercially available medications aren’t effective. If you’ve tried over-the-counter options or standard prescriptions without success, compounding might offer the solution you need.
