What is Compounding?
It’s important to first note that compounded medications are not covered by insurance, so these medications require direct payment.
Compounding medications is a unique skill that trained pharmacists can use to customize your medication to meet your individual needs. Whether you have allergies or dietary restrictions, or you have a complex medical concern that requires specialty medication, Pharmacist Gopal can mix them in-house. This compounding is done with non-sterile, non-hazardous materials and is ideal for oral medications and skin creams.
These medications are only created and dispensed to customers after we receive a valid patient-specific prescription from your doctor. This is also a unique service that’s often only provided by smaller, local pharmacies because they require a relationship between the pharmacist, patient, and doctor.
