PCAB-accredited specialty compounding pharmacy on Slauson Avenue in South Los Angeles. We prepare bespoke formulations to your prescriber's specification — when the manufactured product doesn't exist, doesn't work, or won't be tolerated. Non-sterile, sterile, and hazardous-drug preparations under USP <795>, <797>, and <800>.
Manufactured drugs come in a handful of strengths, in a handful of forms, with a handful of inactive ingredients. That's enough for most patients — but not all of them. A compounded medication is one we prepare ourselves, in our lab, from the active ingredient and excipients up. It can be a custom dose, a different delivery form (cream, lozenge, suspension, suppository), a discontinued medication, or a formula tailored to a patient's allergies and tolerances.
Compounding is the original practice of pharmacy. It's also one of the most demanding — which is why we do it ourselves rather than outsourcing.
