Why compounded

When a manufactured antiparasitic does not fit

Compounding lets a prescriber specify exactly what the patient needs rather than working around what is stocked.

  • Weight-based and paediatric dosing. Doses calculated to the individual patient, including children who cannot take an adult tablet.
  • Allergen- and excipient-free. Preparations made without dyes, lactose, corn, sugar, or alcohol where a patient reacts to them.
  • No longer manufactured. Agents that have been discontinued commercially but remain clinically appropriate.
  • Custom strengths and combinations. Strengths between commercial increments, or compatible agents in a single dosage form.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a prescription for compounded antiparasitic medications?

Yes. Every preparation on this page is dispensed only against a valid, patient-specific prescription from a licensed prescriber. We cannot compound or ship without one.

Are compounded medications FDA-approved?

No. Compounded preparations are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not review the safety, effectiveness, or quality of a compounded preparation before it is dispensed. They are prepared by a licensed pharmacist against an individual prescription.

Why would my prescriber order a compounded antiparasitic instead of a commercial product?

Common reasons include a weight-based or paediatric dose no commercial product offers, a required allergen- or excipient-free formulation, a strength or combination that is not manufactured, or a medication that has been discontinued commercially.

Can you compound antiparasitic medication for my whole family?

Each person needs their own prescription written in their name, and each is dispensed as a separate preparation. A prescriber can send multiple prescriptions together for a household.

Can my prescriber send a prescription electronically?

Yes. We accept e-prescriptions, and prescribers can also fax an Rx authorisation form or call the pharmacy directly to discuss a formulation before sending it.

Do you ship to my state?

We ship nationwide, and licensure is verified for the destination state before a prescription is accepted. Contact us if you would like your state confirmed before your prescriber writes.
