Compounding
The Art of Compounding…
When we envision ancient apothecaries who mixed their treatments by hand with a mortar and pestle to heal the ailments of their patients, we usually assume they’ve disappeared on the wings of history. Once, all pharmacies compounded medications to meet each doctor’s unique prescriptions, but mass production by large drug companies made compounding a dying art.
Thankfully, this practice has experienced a resurgence over the last two decades. Today, about one percent of all prescriptions are carefully prepared by compounding pharmacists who work directly with physicians and their patients to meet special needs.
