Compounding enables prescribers and pharmacists to meet the special needs of patients. One of its most important benefits is to those patients who have difficulties with commercially available medication. With the prescriber’s consent, pharmacists can custom-prepare medications in a variety of unique dosage forms, including:

• Capsules
• Oral liquids
• Troches or lollipops
• Topical preparations
• Suppositories
• Eye and ear drops
• Nasal sprays
• Sterile injections

The result? A way to take medicine that helps increase patient compliance.
