Physicians often prescribe medications that require
compounding. Compounding is a process where a pharmacist can
take a drug that is comercially available in only one form and turn
it into a unique medication in an alternate dosage form.
Examples of people needing compounded medications are infants,
persons with allergies and persons who are unable to orally use
medications.
All pharmacists are able to compound by virtue of their license,
however, many choose not to due to inadequate staff, time or
materials. Scott Townsend received extra training in
compounding thru Gallipot and is a proud member of the
International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists.
