The tradition of compounding is alive and well at Apothecary Pharmacy. What is compounding? Well, it's achieved through a triad relationship between the physician, pharmacist and patient. Essentially, the physician prescribes the medication and after a thorough consultation the pharmacist takes the necessary ingredients, compounds them and dispenses the medication to the patient . This enables patients to receive the type of personalized care they deserve and allows independent community pharmacists the opportunity to provide superior patient-oriented service.
Many patients may wish to receive a medication without dyes or preservatives. Or, the physician may wish to prescribe a medication in a strength that is not commercially available. Compounding allows you many different choices that are custom-made for you.
