When commercially manufactured medications don't meet a patient's unique needs, pharmacy compounding offers a solution. While there are 56,000 community-based pharmacies in the U.S., only about 7,500 specialize in compounding services. This distinction is crucial for understanding the full range of prescription options available for your health needs.
A compounding pharmacy is staffed by extensively trained pharmacists who specialize in creating customized medications. Unlike traditional pharmacies, it offers a personalized experience where pharmacists work with doctors to develop unique solutions that mass-produced drugs cannot provide, utilizing both ancient compounding techniques and modern technology.
Compounded drugs are custom medications created from pure chemicals, precisely formulated to a patient's unique, doctor-prescribed needs. Unlike mass-produced, FDA-approved commercial drugs—which can contain allergens or have limited dosages and forms—compounded drugs offer a tailored solution, bypassing these limitations to provide the exact right prescription.

While chain pharmacies function more like franchises, independent pharmacies tailor their services to the needs of the communities they are a part of.
