In traditional compounding, pharmacists create a customized medication for an individual patient pursuant to a prescription. Pharmacists’ ability to compound medications is authorized in federal law for good reason: Manufactured drugs don’t come in dosages that are right for everyone, and prescribers must be able to prescribe customized medications when, in their judgment, a manufactured drug is not the best course of therapy for a patient or the appropriate FDA-approved drug is not available.
