The art of compounding has been an integral part of the profession of pharmacy from its inception. Contemporary compounding techniques offer the pharmacist the opportunity to become an active participant in the care of patients by efficiently preparing customised medications to meet patients' needs. A compounding pharmacist can help to improve therapeutic outcomes by solving problems doctors and p
atients have with allergies to fillers and dyes, palatability, discontinued or unavailable products and dosage forms. Using state-of the-art equipment and devices, contemporary compounding offers pharmacists increased satisfaction and interest in the practice of pharmacy. The pharmacists here are committed to providing high-quality compounded medications in the dosage form and strength prescribed by the physician. Through the triad relationship of patient, physician and pharmacist, all three can work together to develop the most beneficial medication plan for the patient, expanding the solution beyond commercially available products and enhancing individualized patient care while working to solve unique medical problems.
