Custom Compounding

Medications prepared to a specific strength, dose, or form when a commercial product doesn't fit.

Compounding is the pharmacist's craft of combining ingredients to create a medication in a form that isn't commercially available — a different strength, a flavor a child will actually take, or a delivery method that works better for a specific patient. We work directly with your physician to prepare exactly what's prescribed.

Forms we prepare:

• Pills and capsules
• Transdermal gels
• Liquids
• Troches
• Gummies and lollipops (for pediatric or flavor-sensitive patients)

Common reasons patients need compounding:

• Changing the flavor of a medication that's otherwise hard to take
• Pain management formulations
• Hormone replacement therapy
• Dermatology preparations

Every compounded prescription requires a valid order from your prescriber. Call (860) 522-9289 to ask whether a medication can be compounded for your specific need.
