Most medications work for most people, but not everyone all the time. That’s where compounding comes in. By creating custom medications, we provide a more personal, tailored approach to managing your health.
Why Compounding?
Compounded prescriptions are useful when:
• A patient needs a medication without certain ingredients (gluten, lactose, dyes, preservatives).
• A drug is in shortage or discontinued.
• Hormone therapy needs to be tailored to a patient’s profile.
• Children require smaller doses, liquid forms, or additive-free options.
• Patients need adjusted strengths or alternate dosage forms (liquids, creams, troches, suppositories, etc.).
• Pets require flavored or easier-to-administer medications.
• Pills are too large or difficult to swallow.
• Preservative-free formulations are required.
• Multiple medications can be combined for convenience.
• Side effects from oral dosing can be avoided with alternative delivery forms.
Knowles Apothecary ensures each compounded prescription is made to fit the patient’s unique needs, offering the most effective and convenient treatment possible.
