The benefits of compounded prescription medications are wide and varied:

• Compounded medications can be formulated into alternative delivery forms, such as topical gels, creams, or nasal sprays, giving the health care professional and the patient a wider range of delivery options.
• Patient allergies and sensitivities that occur with commercially available drugs can be overcome with compounded prescriptions that are preservative, dye, and lactose-free for example.
• Discontinued and commercially unavailable medications can be custom made so that you do not have to go without.
• Compounded pain medications can often prevent the problems of drowsiness, dizziness, and stomach discomfort, which are just a few of the side effects associated with standard pain medications.
• Compounded medications are ideally suited to sports medicine and physical therapy scenarios where musculoskeletal pain due to inflammation is a problem, but injections are difficult.
• Custom-compounded medications are vital to a successful veterinary practice where hard-to-find medications or uniquely formulated compounds are needed to ensure easier delivery and patient’s compliance with drug regimens.
• Compounded customized hormone therapies are a viable alternative for patients who would prefer to avoid conventional hormone replacement medications.
• Compounded prescriptions are a unique way to deliver medications to patients who are otherwise resistant to traditional forms of medications, such as a lollipop for oral sedation for children.
