What is Compounding?
Compounding is the art and science of custom making prescription medications specifically for patients and their unique needs. The pharmaceutical industry offers a one-size-fits-all approach to medicine. Summerfield Pharmacy knows this one-size-fits-all approach is not the best option for many patients. Compounding offers alternative treatment options that can help improve therapeutic results and patient outcomes.
Compounding is a great option for people who:
​
-
Have allergies to common mass-produced fillers (lactose, gluten, dyes )
-
Need customized medication strengths (children or the elderly)
-
Need unique dosage forms (creams, suppositories, lollipops )
-
Need medications that are in short supply or on backorder
-
Are unable to take a medication due to unwanted side effects, unpleasant taste, or lack of improvement
We exist to provide solutions to patients struggling with medication challenges.
