At Town & Country Compounding, we work with patients and prescribers to prepare individualized prescription medications based on specific medical needs. Our compounding pharmacy in Ramsey, New Jersey, offers a range of specialized formulations across multiple areas of healthcare.
Whether a patient requires a different medication strength, an alternative dosage form, or a formulation without certain ingredients, our pharmacists work with prescribers to explore appropriate prescription options.
What Is a Compounding Pharmacy?
A compounding pharmacy prepares medications using individual ingredients to create prescriptions for patients whose needs may not be met by commercially available medications.
Prescription compounding may be appropriate when a patient requires a specific dosage strength, has an allergy or sensitivity to certain inactive ingredients, or needs a medication in a different form.
At Town & Country Compounding, our pharmacists collaborate with licensed prescribers to prepare patient-specific formulations according to applicable compounding standards.
