What is Compounding?
Compounding
is the art of combining pure materials to make new medicines that fit each
patient's unique
health needs. Pharmacists and technicians at Hieber's
Pharmacy make a variety of compounds including topical creams,
ointments, lotions, oral suspensions, suppositories, capsules,
injections, eye drops and nasal sprays.
Every patient has
specific health needs and a commercially available
solution may not always be best. Compounding allows
pharmacists to offer innovative, unique solutions for
these individual needs.
At
Hieber's, we compound
with the finest grade of chemicals and use state of the
art equipment. Through continuous education,
we strive to create only the highest quality
preparations. We enjoy problem solving and we will
work with you and your physician to maximize your
medication therapy outcome.
