How does Compounding benefit me?

Compounding gives you a medication made just for you. It’s especially helpful if you have allergies, need a custom dose, or struggle with standard medication forms. Many patients avoid taking meds because of unpleasant side effects, difficult-to-swallow pills, or unwanted ingredients like gluten, dyes, or preservatives.

It’s personalized care designed to help you feel better — without the barriers that come with one-size-fits-all prescriptions.

Can my child or elderly parent take compounded medication?

Absolutely — in fact, children and seniors are often the ones who benefit most from compounded medications. Whether it’s customizing flavors to make medicine easier for kids to take, or creating easier-to-use forms like creams or liquids for aging adults, compounding makes treatment more comfortable and effective.

For little ones, we can work with your provider to create great-tasting options like bubblegum, grape, or vanilla-butternut. For older adults or hospice patients, we can compound pain relievers or anti-nausea meds into topical forms that bypass the stomach — especially helpful for those with GI issues or difficulty swallowing.

Is Compounding legal? Is it safe?

Yes — when performed by licensed pharmacists following strict standards. At Greenhill Pharmacy, we ensure every compound meets high-quality and safety guidelines. The Food and Drug Administration has stated that compounded prescriptions are both ethical and legal as long as they are prescribed by a licensed practitioner for a specific patient and compounded by a licensed pharmacy. In addition, compounding is regulated by state boards of pharmacy.

Do I need a prescription for compounded medications?

Yes. Most compounded medications require a valid prescription from your healthcare provider.

Will my insurance cover compounded medications?

Some insurances will cover custom compounded medications. We accept most major prescription plans and will gladly try to bill the compounds to your prescription plan.

Can you flavor medications for kids or pets?

Absolutely! We specialize in flavoring meds to make them easier to take — from bubblegum and grape for kids to beef, chicken, or tuna for pets.

What kind of medications can be compounded?

Almost any kind! Compounded prescriptions are ideal for any patient requiring unique dosages and/or delivery devices.

Does my prescriber know about compounding?

Prescription compounding is a rapidly growing component of many physicians’ practices, but some may not realize the extent of compounding resurgence in recent years due to today’s climate of aggressive marketing by drug manufacturers. Ask your healthcare practitioner about compounding, or get in touch with us. Through the triad relationship of patient, prescriber, and pharmacist, all three can work together to solve unique medical problems.
