Medication compounding

  At Farnham Pharmacy, we understand that not all patients can take commercially available medications. For that reason, our specialized compounding team can compound various medications to treat multiple conditions, including but not limited to; migraine headache, hemorrhoids, neuropathic pain, arthritic pain and many others. Pharmacy compounding is the art and science of preparing customized medications for patients. Within the last two decades, compounding has experienced a resurgence as modern technology and innovative techniques and research have allowed more pharmacists to customize medications to meet specific patient needs. With a physician’s consent, a compounding pharmacist can change the strength of a medication, alter its form to make it easier for the patient to ingest, or add flavor to make it more palatable. For those patients who are having a hard time swallowing a capsule, a compounding pharmacist can make a liquid suspension instead.
