The Benefits of Custom Compounding
Custom compounding creates a preparation designed for one individual. It is often used in naturopathic medicine as an alternative to standard, one-size-fits-all pharmaceuticals. Benefits include:
- Dosing based on your individual makeup and needs
- Flavoring medications to make them more palatable
- Removing unwanted or nonessential ingredients such as gluten, lactose, dyes, or other substances you are sensitive to
- Changing the form of a medication, such as a cream, troche, liquid, or capsule, if you have trouble swallowing or experience stomach upset
How Does the Process Work?
You and your naturopathic doctor agree on a treatment plan together. Your doctor then calls in your customized prescription to the appropriate compounding pharmacy, and the pharmacy contacts you to discuss payment options. Many pharmacies can ship your medication to you for an additional charge. View our Phoenix-area compounding pharmacy referrals.
Will Insurance Pay for Custom Compounding?
The pharmacy will attempt to bill your insurance. Because custom prescriptions are individualized, they are often not covered, so please be prepared to pay the pharmacy when your prescription is ordered.
Compounding works hand in hand with our other specialty therapies and naturopathic therapies.
