What is compounding?
Pharmacy compounding is the art and science of preparing customized medications for you, based on your doctor’s orders. The practice of compounding dates back to the origins of pharmacy. Modern technology, innovative techniques and research have allowed pharmacists to customize medications to meet your specific needs.
How can compounding benefit me?
- When needed medications are discontinued
- When you are allergic to preservatives, dyes or binders
- When your treatment requires tailored dosage strengths
- When several medications needs to be combined to increase compliance
- When pills cannot be swallowed, medication can be formulated into cream, liquid or other form
- When standard treatments fail and an alternative is needed
Customized prescription compounding can provide pain relief through alternate methods of medication delivery. Wellness1Pharmacy’s expert team of pharmacists could formulate a combination of ingredients in a topical cream, gel, or spray, allowing the medication to be delivered directly to the site of pain with potentially fewer side effects and less overall medication. Now you can Think Beyond the Pill.
Compounded formulations provide very specific strengths and combinations of pain medications that are tailored to your individual needs. Some of the conditions we provide solutions for include:
- Cancer-Related Pain
- Post-Surgical Pain
- Cramps

Your Pain is Complex! Although the number of treatment options for pain conditions has expanded, many patients continue to experience inadequate pain relief and side effects. Pain control is essential. Chronic pain is uncontrolled when it prevents patients from working, enjoying recreation or taking pleasure in their usual roles in the family and society.
Chronic pain management requires a tailored approach and customized treatment options to meet the specific needs of each patient. Topical and targeted pain medications are proving to be helpful in reducing pain and improving function in patients with a variety of pain conditions. These medications are customized to the unique pain symptoms of each individual

Bioidentical hormones are defined as man-made hormones that are very similar to the hormones produced by the human body. These are then used as treatment for men and women whose own hormones are low or out of balance.
The goal of therapy is to relieve symptoms, improve health, improve quality of life, and provide hormone balance. Although the hormones used to make your compounded prescription are from yam and soy sources, they work the same way natural hormones do in the body.
Compounding allows a veterinarian to prescribe and a pharmacist to prepare a customized medication that is not available commercially, or to place an available medication in a different dosage form to meet a specific pet need and improve compliance.
