Some pharmacies focus on compounding prescriptions.
This means that the pharmacist combines individual ingredients as determined by a medical practitioner into specific dosage forms such as tablets, capsules, creams, gels, lozenges and more. Women's International Pharmacy is a compounding pharmacy dedicated to
quality assurance when using bioidentical hormones (BHRT) in the compounded medications we prepare.

Compounding pharmacies create
formulations of one or more active ingredients.  The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) is the recognized national formulary and offers guidance for compounding.  Ingredients, according to the USP must meet quality standards such as pharmaceutical grade, reagent grade or even food grade.  The active ingredients and inactive ingredients are specified by a licensed health care practitioner with a prescription.

The healthcare practitioner specifies ingredients and doses intended to meet the individual needs of their patients.  For example, Women’s International Pharmacy can combine multiple bioidentical hormones of various strengths into one compounded medication.  The prescriber will also specify the type of formulation to use.  These include choices such as capsules, gels, creams, lozenges and drops. Flavoring can be added to formulations to make them more palatable, if desired.
