Do I need a prescription for a compounded pain-related preparation?

Yes. Pain-management compounds are prepared only with a valid prescription, based on prescriber direction, and are reviewed for the individual patient.

What forms can pain-related preparations take?

The strength and dosage form come from your prescriber’s directions. Our pharmacist reviews each formulation and coordinates with the prescriber when details need clarification.

Are compounded preparations FDA-approved?

No. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not automatically safer or more effective than approved products. FDA-approved treatments are the starting point whenever they meet your needs.
