Custom medications, also known as compounded medications, are tailored prescriptions created by pharmacists to meet the specific needs of individual patients. These medications can be adjusted in strength, dosage form, or ingredients to address unique health conditions or allergies that standard medications may not accommodate. Compounding allows for the creation of specialized formulations, such as flavored liquid medications for children or hormone replacement therapies for adults. This practice ensures that patients receive the most effective treatment for their specific circumstances, enhancing overall health outcomes and improving medication adherence.
