Compounding

Compounding at Well Care Pharmacy

At Well Care Pharmacy, we understand that one-size-fits-all medications don't always work for everyone. That's why we offer custom compounding services to create medications tailored to your specific needs.

What is Compounding?

Compounding is the practice of preparing personalized medications by a licensed pharmacist. This allows us to:

• Change the dosage form: We can create medications in forms that are easier to take, such as creams, gels, suppositories, or flavored liquids, for patients who have difficulty swallowing pills or capsules.

• Allergies or sensitivities: We can make compounds without allergens, such as dyes, lactose, or preservatives.

• Create discontinued medications: We can sometimes recreate medications no longer commercially available.

Our Compounding Services at Well Care Pharmacy:

Well Care Pharmacy offers both topical and oral non-sterile compounding services. This means we can create customized creams, ointments, gels and liquids to meet your individual needs.

Here are some examples of how compounding can benefit you:

• Skin conditions: We can create topical creams or lotions for various skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, or acne.

• Pain management: We can compound pain medications in a specific dosage form or concentration for better pain relief.

• Pet medications: We can compound medications for your furry companions in flavors or forms that are easier for them to take.

The Benefits of Compounding:

• Improved medication adherence: By creating medications in a more palatable or convenient form, we can help you stay on track with your treatment plan.

• Reduced side effects: By removing inactive ingredients that may cause allergies, we can potentially minimize side effects.

• Personalized treatment: Compounding allows for a more individualized approach to treatment, addressing specific needs not met by commercially available medications.

Getting Started with Compounding at Well Care Pharmacy:

• Talk to your doctor: Discuss your needs and see if compounding could be a good option for you.

• Bring your doctor's prescription: Once your doctor has determined compounding is right for you, they will provide us with a prescription for the compounded medication.

• Consultation with our pharmacist: Our pharmacists will work with you to understand your specific needs and preferences to create the best possible compounded medication.
