Many patients have unique health needs that may not be treated by standard medication. Compounding pharmacists specialize in providing personalized medication solutions, as they believe that “one size does not fit all” with regards to medical care. Compounding is often necessary for medical reasons; some patients require a particular non-essential ingredient to be removed from their medication to prevent an allergic reaction. Others require compounded medication to obtain an exact dosage amount that is unique to their personal needs, which may not be commercially available.

Compounding can also be used for more optional reasons; often patients will need their medications in a different form. For example, if an elderly or pediatric patient has difficulty taking their medication in capsule form, a compounding pharmacist can provide the same medication in a cream base form to allow the patient to apply the medication topically, or in a syrup or solution form for easier oral administration. Pharmaceutical compounding is also used to change the taste and color of medications, to make them more palatable and aesthetically appealing to patients, especially with children and even animals.
