Compounded Medications

What is compounding?

Drug compounding is often regarded as the process of combining, mixing, or altering ingredients to create a medication tailored to the needs of an individual patient. Compounding includes the combining of two or more drugs.

Why do some patients need compounded drugs?

A drug may be compounded for a patient who cannot be treated with an FDA-approved medication, such as a patient who has an allergy to a certain dye and needs a medication to be made without it, or an elderly patient or a child who cannot swallow a tablet or capsule and needs a medicine in a liquid dosage form.

Who can compound drugs?

Compounding most commonly occurs in pharmacies. Federal law addresses compounding by a licensed pharmacist in a state-licensed pharmacy, or federal facility, or by a physician.
