What is Compounding?

Pharmacy compounding is the art and science of preparing customized medications to meet specific patient needs from natural sources.

Compounding is rooted in the origination of the pharmacy profession prior to mass production of pharmaceuticals.

A Brief History of Compounding

At one time, nearly all prescriptions were compounded. With the advent of mass drug manufacturing in the 1950s and ‘60s, compounding rapidly declined. The pharmacist’s role as a preparer of medications quickly changed to that of a dispenser of manufactured dosage forms, and most pharmacists no longer were trained to compound medications. However, the “one-size-fits-all” nature of many mass-produced medications meant that some patients’ needs were not being met.

For over 20 years, Haber's Compounding Pharmacy has been providing custom compounded bioidentical hormones. Modern technology, innovative techniques, research, and constant education allows Haber's to provide cutting edge patient care.

Working with a compounding pharmacist is especially important when it comes to hormone replacement, as doses are customized for each patient. This means your GP can work with Marvin to find the right initial prescription (ie. the smallest dose possible) only increasing doses or relative balance of various hormones as necessary.
