Ever Have Trouble Taking Your Medication?

At TruCare Pharmacy, we realize that people are unique and don’t always fit into a standard mold. Everyone is different, and as such, many people will not respond properly to mass-produced drugs. Compounding offers your doctor the option to prescribe compounded drugs that are personalized to your unique needs.

What Is Compounding?

Pharmacy compounding is the art and science of preparing personalized medications for unique people, just like you. Compounded medications are “made from scratch” – individual ingredients are mixed together in the exact strength and dosage form required specifically by you. This method allows the compounding pharmacist to work with the patient and the prescriber to customize a medication to meet your own specific needs.
