At Macomb Pharmacy and Wellness, we are a compounding pharmacy. What does that mean? It means that as a compounding pharmacy, we are able to create and produce unique medications for our unique patients. Whether our patients need certain dosages, types (ex: liquid, softgels, etc.), dye-free, preservative-free, alcohol-free, or even sugar-free forms of medications, we can make them.
We enjoy being a compound pharmacy, as it combines modern medicine with the original roots of pharmacy in general. Compounding allows us to produce medications that are just for our patients’ preferences or restrictions. Often, the custom medications we make are special combinations or forms that are not generally available commercially.
Compounding medication helps minimize side effects, drug interactions, stomach issues, and more. Compounding is also great for anyone who has trouble or difficulty swallowing pills. Sometimes, menopausal or breastfeeding women need specific forms of medication due to size, weight, allergies, or drug tolerance.
