Drug compounding is a process of combining, mixing, or altering ingredients to create a medication tailored to the needs of an individual patient. It is a specialized form of pharmaceutical manufacturing that is used to create customized medications for patients who may not be able to take commercially available drugs. Compounding is often used to create medications that are not available in the market, or to adjust the dosage of a medication to meet the needs of a patient. Compounding is regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is performed by specially trained pharmacists. The process involves combining active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with other ingredients to create a medication that meets the patient’s needs. The ingredients used in compounding must meet the same standards of quality, purity, and potency as those used in commercially available medications. Companies in the drug compounding market include Apothecary By Design, B. Braun Medical, Compounding Solutions, and Fagron. Show Less Read more
