Compounding is nothing new. In fact, before large drug manufacturers and their massive distribution systems became commonplace, all pharmacists used compounding to create medicine for patients. Compounding is the process of altering existing pharmaceutical preparations and/or combining the chemicals that go into medications, including the addition of flavoring, so that the dosage and preparation is better suited for the patient’s needs.

Almost any medication can be compounded by a compounding pharmacist. Medications that require a unique form such as: nasal sprays, flavoring, topical gels, etc. are often the common forms that we see. Here at Melbourne Pharma, we create unique medications for many different uses including:

• Dental
• Dermatology
• Urology
• Pets
• Pediatric
• Ophthalmology
• Hormone optimization
• Topical pain gels
• Hospice
• And more

While both traditional and compounding pharmacists graduate from pharmaceutical school and can fill prescriptions, compounding pharmacists receive specialized training in the art and science of compounding. Traditional pharmacies dispense medications in their final form as provided by manufacturers, whereas compounding pharmacists create medications from raw ingredients, customizing the final product.

• Your prescriber has sent in a prescription with a customized combination of medications tailored to your condition.
• The exact dosage or form you need isn’t commercially available.
• You have allergies to certain ingredients in standard medications.
• You need a medication that has been discontinued or is in short supply

The cost of compounding medications is very reasonable since compounding pharmacists have access to the pure-grade quality chemicals needed to eliminate some of the costs that go into commercially manufactured pharmaceuticals. But the actual cost will depend on the time involved and equipment needed.
