What is Compounding?

The art of compounding has been an integral part of the profession of pharmacy from its inception. Contemporary compounding techniques offer the pharmacist the opportunity to become an active participant in the care of patients by efficiently preparing customised medications to meet patients' needs.

A compounding pharmacist can help to improve therapeutic outcomes by solving problems doctors and patients have with allergies to fillers and dyes, palatability, discontinued or unavailable products and dosage forms. Using state-of the-art equipment and devices, contemporary compounding offers pharmacists increased satisfaction and interest in the practice of pharmacy.
