Why Prescribe Compounds?
Commercially manufactured medications are produced in standardized strengths and formulations that may not meet the needs of every patient. Pharmaceutical compounding allows prescribers to tailor medications by adjusting strengths, combining ingredients, removing certain allergens, or preparing alternative dosage forms.
At EpitomeRx, compounded medications are prepared in our state-of-the-art laboratory to ensure precision and quality. Our pharmacists collaborate closely with you to develop customized solutions designed to support individualized patient care.
Benefits of Compounding
Customized formulations
Active ingredients and strengths can be tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient.
Combination medications
Multiple compatible medications can be combined into a single preparation when appropriate.
Flexible dosage forms
Medications can be prepared in a variety of dosage forms such as capsules, creams, gels, oral liquids, sublingual preparations, suppositories, sprays, and other customized formats.
Alternative options during shortages
Compounding may provide options when certain medications are discontinued, unavailable, or difficult to source.
Allergen-free formulations
Medications can be prepared without certain dyes, preservatives, or other excipients when appropriate.
Improved patient compliance
Customized formulations can help address the needs of children, older adults, or patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules.
Collaborative Care
Our pharmacists are available to collaborate with prescribers on formulation options, dosing considerations, and customized medication solutions. Whether you are experienced with compounded prescriptions or exploring them for the first time, the EpitomeRx team is here to help support your patient care goals.
