What is the difference between "Commercial" and "Compounded" medication?

Created by Farah Alchouli, Modified on Fri, Mar 13 at 1:48 PM by Farah Alchouli

Commercial medications are mass-produced by pharmaceutical companies, while compounded medications are custom-made by specialized pharmacists to meet your specific dosage or delivery needs (like a specific cream strength). We offer both, and your practitioner will determine which is best for your clinical goals. Compounded medications can include bioidentical hormones and other ingredients tailored to the patient's unique requirements. It's important to ensure that the pharmacy where you get your compounded doses is licensed and sources its ingredients from credible suppliers.
