How is compounding different from other pharmacies?

Compounding pharmacies differ from traditional pharmacies in that they have the ability to customize medications to meet the unique and specific needs of individual patients. Compounding pharmacies tailor medications to specific dosage forms, strengths, and flavors while traditional pharmacies dispense pre-manufactured medications in standard dosages and forms. The flexibility allows us to cater to patients with allergies and sensitivities.
