Abstract

Compounding is the creation of a pharmaceutical preparation by a licensed pharmacist to meet the unique needs of an individual patient when commercially available drugs do not meet those needs. For hundreds of years, compounding was the traditional practice of pharmacy. Today's advanced practice of compounding provides health care practitioners customized options for unique patients or for hard to treat conditions.
