Custom Compounding

Medications tailored to your specific needs. Our pharmacists prepare custom formulations including unique dosages, flavors, and delivery forms.

About This Service

Not every patient fits a one-size-fits-all medication. At Eltingville Pharmacy, our custom compounding service creates personalized medications tailored to your exact needs. Whether you need a specific dosage that isn't commercially available, a medication without a certain allergen or dye, or a child-friendly flavor to make medicine time easier, our skilled pharmacists can prepare it for you.

Compounding is especially valuable for patients in Staten Island who need hormone replacement therapy, pain management creams, dermatological preparations, or pediatric formulations. We work directly with your physician to develop the right formulation, strength, and delivery method — from topical creams and oral suspensions to suppositories and sublingual drops.

Our Eltingville compounding pharmacy uses high-quality ingredients and follows strict preparation standards to ensure safety and effectiveness. If you've been told your medication has been discontinued or isn't available in the form you need, give us a call at (718) 356-1789. There's a good chance we can compound it for you right here at 3948 Richmond Ave.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is pharmacy compounding?

Compounding is the process of creating customized medications tailored to a patient's specific needs. Our pharmacists combine individual ingredients to prepare medications in the exact strength, dosage form, and flavor prescribed by your doctor.

Do I need a prescription for compounded medications?

Yes, compounded medications require a prescription from your healthcare provider. Your doctor can call, fax, or e-prescribe directly to Eltingville Pharmacy, and we'll prepare your custom medication.

Does insurance cover compounded medications?

Many insurance plans do cover compounded prescriptions, though coverage varies by plan and medication. We'll check your insurance benefits and let you know your cost before we prepare your compound.

How long does it take to prepare a compounded medication?

Most compounded medications are ready within 24 to 48 hours. For more complex formulations, it may take slightly longer. We'll give you an accurate timeline when you drop off or call in your prescription.

Can you compound medications for pets?
