Commonly Asked Questions Regarding Compounding

Compounding medication has become more popular over time. The Lake of the Ozarks compounding pharmacy is becoming more well know and we occasionally get questions about compounding and how it might benefit you. In this blog, we will discuss some of our more commonly asked questions and answer them.

In What Ways are Normal Drug Manufacturing and Compounding Different?

Compounded medication is prepared in individual does that are customized to meet an individuals' needs. When standard medication is manufactured, it's mass produced and made to meet the majority of patients' needs. So, unlike standard medication, compounded medication is better suited to meet unique needs of each individual patient. This helps reduce the risk of more side effects and can give better results.

Is a Compounded Pharmacy a Regulated Pharmacy?

 Yes, both compounding pharmacies and pharmacists are:

  • licensed 
  • regulated 

by the State Boards of Pharmacy. Compounding pharmacies are constantly required to conform to these new standards the State Boards of Pharmacy enforce. It may be a rigorous process, but serving our valued customers makes it all worth it.


Who does Compounded Medication Benefit?
Compounded medication is completely customized and because of this it can benefit a wide variety of different symptoms and conditions. Examples of some of these situations may include:
  • Arthritis
  • Chronic Pain
  • Fungal Infections
  • Autistic Spectrum
  • Migraines
  • Weight Loss
  • Nausea & Vomiting
  • Hemorrhoids
  • Menopause
  • Diaper Rash
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Exercise & Sports Injuries
  • Wrinkles & Age Spots

The list continues on and on. To see more things compounding can help with, visit our website.
