Why Compounding?
In this world of billions of people, you are an individual. There may be others like you, but no one else responds to life like you do. When you apply this rationale to manufactured medication, not all needs of the individual can be met. Drug manufacturers mass produce medicine to meet the needs of MOST people, but not everyone. That is why there will always be a need for compounding.
Quite simply, compounding is making custom medication to meet the needs of one individual. How do you know if a compounded medication is right for you? Here are some simple questions that will help answer that question:
- Are all of your health needs being met with your current manufactured medication?
- Do you have chronic pain that is never completely relieved?
- Do you suffer from hot flashes, mood swings or just feel sick and tired all of the time?
- Is there a medication you have been taking that has been taken off the market?
- Do you have physical limitations such as problems swallowing or a medication that makes you nauseated?
- Do you have a child that does not like to take medication?
- Do you have a pet that does not like to take medication?
If you answered yes to any of these question, a compounded medication may be right for you.
