4 Myths About Compounding - DEBUNKED

In our humble opinion, compounded medication is the best form of medication available. Unlike standard prescriptions, compounded medication is prepared specifically for each individual patient. Rather than taking medication that works for "most people," our patients can be confident that their medication caters specifically to their unique needs. Despite its remarkable advantages, however, compounding medication at the Lake of the Ozarks is still largely misunderstood. This week, your favorite compounding pharmacy in Lake Ozark MO is here to dispel some of the common myths surrounding our unique trade.

Myth #1: Compounded Medication Is A Form Of Alternative Medicine
The idea of straying from standardized prescriptions can be unnerving for some, but we want to stress that compounded medication is not a form of "voodoo" or "alternative" medicine. Compounded medication is safe, trustworthy medication just like the prescriptions you are used to taking - except it's even better, because it's designed to meet your unique needs.

Myth #2: Compounded Medication Is Not Governed By The Same Types Of Regulations As Other Medication
This myth could not be further from the truth. Compounding pharmacies must meet the strict standards by their boards of pharmacies. Our pharmacy undergoes routine inspections just like every other pharmacy, and we must follow the same types of regulations and standards.

Myth #3: Compounded Medication Does Not Require A Prescription
We have the capability to compound medication for most situations, but we are not authorized to do so without an official prescription from the doctor. Before we can compound your medication, you will need to get a prescription from your doctor. We are honored to have great relationships with most of the doctors in our surrounding area. 

Myth #4: Compounded Medication Poses Greater Risks To Patients
Not only does compounded medication not pose greater risks than standardized medication - it is actually safer in many situations. Because compounded medication is customized to meet each patient's unique needs, it typically has better results and fewer side effects than standardized medication doses. You don't have to take it from us, however! Our client testimonials speak for themselves.
