When is a compounding pharmacy necessary?

Your prescriber may choose a compounded medication when a commercial product can’t meet your needs or isn’t available. Common reasons include:

• Different strength or titration is required (including micro-doses).
• Alternative dosage form is needed (e.g., liquid instead of tablet; transdermal cream/gel; troche/lozenge; suppository; sterile injection or ophthalmic).
• Problem ingredients must be avoided (dyes, lactose, gluten, alcohol, certain oils).
• Compatible medications need to be combined into a single preparation to simplify use.
• The commercial product is on shortage or discontinued.
• Pediatric/geriatric patients need customized dosing or easier administration.
