At Meridian North Pharmacy we know that every person is different .
That's why each compounded prescription can be specifically tailored for your individual needs. Working closely with your physician, our team can prepare medications in our special compounding pharmacy made specifically for you.
What is Compounding?
FDA Definition: Compounding is often regarded as the process of combining, mixing, or altering ingredients to create a medication tailored to the needs of an individual patient.
Our pharmacists compound the medication in a dosage form appropriate for the patient. For example, our pharmacist can prepare the medication using several unique delivery systems:
- Sublingual troche
- Transdermal gel, creams, or ointments
- Capsules
- Suppositories
- Suspensions
There are several reasons why pharmacists compound prescription medications:
You can receive a drug that is dye-free and preservative-free. This is especially helpful for adults or children who may have allergic reactions to certain substances.
Commercially available medication doses may not be appropriate for a patient’s specific needs. With a physician's approval, we can adjust the strength of a medication, adjust its form to make it easier for the patient to ingest, or add flavor to make it more pleasant.
We can create a modified delivery system that will work specifically for the patient.
Along with providing prescriptions tailored specifically for you, we carry multiple high-end supplement brands to meet all of your wellness needs.
