If you are interested in learning more about this valuable option, simply read on to find out the answers to some common questions about compounded medications:
What are compounded medications?
Compounded medications are medications that are prepared by a pharmacist for the specific needs of an individual patient. Our compounding pharmacists combine the necessary ingredients to create a version of a medication that is tailored to you, helping you to feel your best and receive the maximum benefit of your medications.
What are the benefits of compounded medications?
There are plenty of reasons why a patient might choose to utilize compounded medications, as they can provide severe benefits when compared to standard drug forms. For instance, sometimes a patient may be allergic to one of the ingredients in a standard drug form, but we can create compounded medications that do not include that specific ingredient. Other times, the medication form may not be ideal, such as a pill that is too large to swallow, or it may come in a dose that does not align with how much you need. Compounded medications can also be helpful in cases where a needed medication is no longer commercially available. In all of these cases, and plenty more, we can create compounded medications that are convenient and ideal for you.
Will my insurance cover compounded medications?
In some cases, insurance will cover compounded medications. However, in other cases, they may not always be covered. This often depends on the specific type of insurance you have, but don’t worry! We are happy to work with you to help figure out whether compounded medications are covered under your insurance, as well as make recommendations about the most affordable ways to get your medications.
Are compounded medications safe?
Yes, compounding pharmacies must follow strict standards when it comes to preparing compounded medications, meaning they are just as safe as any other type of prescription drug. Additionally, when you trust Maple Mountain Pharmacy to prepare your compounded medications, you can rest easy knowing that our dedicated and expert team goes above and beyond to make sure that your drugs are prepared exactly as you need them.
