Compounding pharmacies provide medications that are formulated to meet the specific needs of individual patients—a custom-made prescription, if you will. To get a prescription compounded, a health-care provider must write a valid prescription and determine that his or her patient needs the drug in a form not normally available or approved by the Food and Drug Administration. For example, if your child needs to take prescription that is normally dispensed as a pill and he or she has difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules, a compounding pharmacist can prepare a liquid or powder form for you. Often, pharmacists can also add flavoring that makes the medication easier to take. The popularity of compounding pharmacies has been growing in recent years, as more and more people find that conventional medications do not fit their needs.
