compounding pharmacy
Bespoke drug preparation
A compounding pharmacy prepares customized medications tailored to individual patients, rather than dispensing mass-produced drugs.
Compounding pharmacists mix ingredients to create specific dosages, combine medications, or formulate alternatives for patients with allergies: The compounding pharmacy made a dye-free version of her prescription.
This practice predates modern pharmaceutical manufacturing.
