What is a compounding pharmacy?

A compounding pharmacy prepares custom prescription medications for an individual patient based on a licensed prescriber’s directions. Instead of dispensing only mass-manufactured products, we adjust the strength, ingredients, and dosage form so the therapy fits the patient—whether that means a micro-dose, removing problem excipients (like dyes or lactose), or creating an alternative form such as a liquid, troche, cream, or sterile injection.

Compounded medications are made as either non-sterile (e.g., capsules, creams, gels, troches, oral liquids, suppositories) or sterile (e.g., injections, IV preparations, ophthalmics) depending on where and how the medicine is used.

How AccuMix practices compounding

AccuMix is a 503A sterile & non-sterile compounding pharmacy. We compound patient-specific medications only after receiving a valid prescription, in compliance with USP <795>/<797>/<800> and state/federal regulations. Our cleanrooms are ISO-classified, our processes are pharmacist-led with BCSCP-certified sterile compounding pharmacists on staff, and each preparation undergoes rigorous quality checks. Compounded medications are prepared under these standards but are not reviewed or approved by the FDA. We collaborate closely with prescribers to ensure each formulation matches the patient’s clinical needs.
