Compounding Medication
What is Compounding?
Pharmacy compounding is the art and science of preparing personalized medications. By working closely with your physician, our pharmacists can formulate medications that are not commercially available. We start with raw ingredients and create a prescription that is tailored to your exact specifications.
Medicine Made Just for You
At Jon’s Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy, we understand that healthcare isn't "one size fits all." Sometimes, standard manufacturing medications don't meet your unique needs. That is where our specialized compounding services come in.
We combine the latest medical knowledge with state-of-the-art technology to prepare customized medications—created specifically for you, your family, and even your pets.
Why Choose Compounded Medication?
There are many reasons why a standard prescription might not work for you. Our compounding team can solve these problems by:
- Customizing Strengths: If a commercial pill is too strong or too weak, we can create a capsule or liquid with the exact dosage you need.
- Changing the Form: Trouble swallowing pills? We can often formulate your medication into a liquid, a topical cream, a gel, or even a lollipop to make administration easier.
- Removing Allergens: We can prepare medications free of problem-causing excipients such as gluten, dyes, lactose, sugar, or preservatives for patients with allergies or sensitivities.
- Improving Flavor: We can add customized flavors to liquid medications to make them more palatable—perfect for children or anyone with a sensitive palate.
- Accessing Discontinued Meds: If a manufacturer has stopped making a medication that worked for you, we can often recreate that pharmaceutical-grade formulation in our lab.
Solutions for Every Need
We work with patients and doctors to provide solutions in various areas, including:
- Pain Management: Topical creams that target pain directly at the source, often with fewer side effects than oral medication.
- Pediatrics: Kid-friendly doses and flavors to take the stress out of sick days.
- Dermatology: Custom creams and ointments for unique skin conditions.
- Veterinary: Medication for your furry family members, flavored to their liking (e.g., tuna, chicken) or made into easy-to-apply treats.
