​Compounding has been a part of healthcare since the origins of pharmacy. Compounding is widely used today in all areas of the industry, from hospitals to nuclear medicine to your hometown pharmacy.

Over the last 20 years, compounding’s resurgence has largely benefited from advances in technology, quality control, and research methodology. The Food and Drug Administration has stated that compounded prescriptions are both ethical and legal as long as they are prescribed by a licensed practitioner for a specific patient, and compounded by a licensed pharmacy. In addition, compounding is exactingly regulated by the Texas State Board of Pharmacy.

In every field of medicine, there are some patients who don’t respond to traditional methods of treatments. Those patients may need strengths not manufactured by drug companies, or they simply need a different method of ingesting the medicine. Many patients may respond better to medications not currently available from drug manufacturers. Pharmaceutical compounding meets these needs. It provides a way for doctors and compounding pharmacists to customize an individualized prescription for the specific needs of the patient.
