Compounding refers to the process of preparing customized medications to cater to the specific requirements of individual patients. This process enables pharmacists to create personalized formulations, dosages, and strengths that are not readily available commercially. By compounding medications, pharmacists can tailor treatments for patients with unique needs, such as allergies, dosage adjustments, or preferences for a particular form of medication. Compounding plays a pivotal role in healthcare by providing personalized solutions, improving medication adherence, and expanding treatment options for patients.
