The Benefits of Custom Compound Prescriptions
Custom compounding is the process of creating a natural preparation to meet the specific needs of an individual. This option is often used in naturopathic medicine as an alternative to standard pharmaceuticals. Some of the benefits of custom compounding include:
- Selecting an appropriate dosage based on your individual makeup and needs
- Flavoring a medication to make it more palatable
- Reformulating drugs to exclude unwanted or nonessential ingredients such as gluten, lactose, dye, or other substances an individual has a sensitivity to
- Changing the form of a medication for a person who may have difficulty with swallowing, or may have an upset stomach when taking medication
How Does the Process Work?
You will visit with your naturopathic doctor and together agree on a treatment plan. Once you agree, the doctor will then call in your customized prescription to the appropriate pharmacy. Then, the pharmacy will contact you to discuss payment options.
Will Insurance Pay for Custom Compounding?
The pharmacy will attempt to bill insurance for your medication. Many times, custom prescriptions are not covered because they are individualized in nature. Please make sure to be prepared to pay the pharmacy for a prescription at the time it is ordered. They may agree to ship the medication to you for an additional charge.
