When it comes to medications, one size does not necessarily fit all. In some cases, a patient requires a drug in particular form or dose strength, in which case, he or she must have it “compounded.” This means that the pharmacist virtually makes the medication from scratch, mixing individual ingredients together in the exact strength and dosage form required by the patient. Equal parts art and science, pharmaceutical compounding provides a degree of personalization rarely seen in an age when nearly all medications are mass-produced, packaged, and marketed. Patients and prescribing physicians in need of such services should know that pharmacists could do more than simply dispense medications- we can prepare them as well.
You should always feel comfortable when asking questions regarding your prescription medications. At Med-Fast Pharmacy, we provide so much more than simple prescription filling; we focus on quality assurance and control using innovative knowledge and technology. Whether you are looking for medications that are no longer available commercially or need customized, doctor-prescribed care, Med-Fast and our compounding pharmacy is here for you.
HINT: Prior to the advent of mass manufacturing in the 1950’s and 1960’s, nearly all drug prescriptions were compounded.
