What are compounded medications and why are they used? 

Compounded medications are pharmaceutical preparations made in a pharmacy laboratory, specifically tailored to meet the needs of an individual patient.

The physician determines the composition or dosage, and our laboratory prepares the appropriate formulation when a suitable commercial product is not available or when personalized treatment is required.

 

Compounded medications offer several important advantages:

 

• Personalized dosage and dosage forms, allowing treatment to be truly adapted to your needs.

 

• Solutions during medication shortages, enabling the preparation of formulations that may be temporarily unavailable or discontinued.

 

• Alternative options for allergies or intolerances, avoiding unwanted excipients such as dyes or preservatives.

 

• Improved treatment adherence, by offering dosage forms that are easier to use (for example, converting tablets into liquid formulation).
