How do I request a personalized medication?

Start by speaking with your prescriber. If they determine a compounded formulation is appropriate, they will provide a prescription, which you can bring to ACP Pharmacy.

Can any medication be compounded?

Not all medications can or should be compounded. Compounding is appropriate in specific clinical situations as determined by your prescriber and pharmacy. We evaluate each request on its own basis.
