At We Care, we recognize that every patient has unique health needs, and not all medications come perfectly suited for everyone. That’s where compounding makes a difference.

What is Compounding?

Compounding is the process of creating customized medications, designed specifically to meet a patient’s individual requirements. Our compounding pharmacists expertly blend ingredients to the precise strength and form needed, working closely with both the patient and their healthcare provider. This approach ensures each patient has a comfortable experience and receives the most benefit from their treatment.

Why Might You Need a Compounded Medication?

There are many situations where a customized prescription may be essential for a patient’s well-being. Here are a few common reasons patients seek compounded medications:

• Combination Treatments: Combining multiple medications into a single cream or ointment to treat a specific area.
• Digestive Concerns: Adjusting medications for patients who experience stomach discomfort with oral drugs.
• Taste Preferences: Flavoring options to help patients, especially children, feel more comfortable taking their medication.
• Difficulty Swallowing: Alternative forms like liquid or topical applications for those who struggle with pills.
• Ingredient Sensitivities: Customizing to remove allergens or avoid unwanted ingredients like gluten, lactose, sugar, alcohol, or dyes.
• Special Dosage Needs: Providing a dosage not available commercially.
• Discontinued Medications: Compounding discontinued medications when a suitable substitute is unavailable.
• Patient Compliance: Creating forms that make it easier for children or pets to take their necessary medication.
