How Compounding Pharmacies Help Patients Like You

When you pick up a prescription, you probably assume it’s the same for everyone who takes it. But what happens if the standard medication doesn’t work for you? That’s where Realo Drugs comes in. As your local compounding pharmacy, we make medications tailored to fit your needs. Let’s dive into what a compounding pharmacy does, why you might need one, and how Realo Drugs can help.

What Is a Compounding Pharmacy?

A compounding pharmacy allows pharmacists to customize medications to fit patients’ specific needs. Instead of one-size-fits-all, compounding allows us to make adjustments so your medicine works better for you.

For example, we can:

• Change a pill into a liquid for kids or seniors who struggle to swallow pills.
• Remove ingredients that might cause an allergic reaction.
• Mix medications together for convenience or effectiveness.

At Realo Drugs, we specialize in this personalized care. Our pharmacists work with your doctor to create safe and effective treatments tailored just for you.

Why Would Someone Need a Compounding Pharmacy?

There are many reasons why patients might need to visit a compounding pharmacy. Here are just a few:

• Unique Dosages: Regular doses may be too strong or too weak. Compounding lets us adjust it so that your dose is just right every time.
• Allergies: If you’re allergic to an ingredient in your medication, we can make it without that ingredient, like gluten, dyes, and other preservatives.
• Flavor Preferences: For kids or pets, we can add flavors to make taking medicine easier.

At Realo Drugs, we’ve seen it all and are here to help. With several convenient locations in Eastern North Carolina, you can trust us to make your medication work for you so you can experience care beyond your prescription.
