What Is Compounding?
Medication Compounding is the process of altering drugs and dosage forms to create customized medications for patients. By compounding, pharmacists are able to craft unique doses or use special ingredients to specifically tailor your medications to you. Our medication compounding provides you the customization that drug manufacturers don't.
​
At Cedarmak we understand medicine isn't always one-size-fits-all. That's why our team of licensed pharmacists work with your doctor to get you customized medications that fit your individual needs. ​
