Theoretically, maybe, but the reality is that only dedicated compounding pharmacies have the resources and expertise to compound safely and effectively. Compounding requires specific chemicals, acquired from FDA (Food and Drug Administration) regulated and GMP (Good Manufacturing Procedures) compliant facilities. At PURAMINT, we compound in our cutting-edge, clean lab facilities, not in the back of a retail pharmacy that is open to the public. Our pharmacists even conduct extensive research on ingredients and drug therapies and regularly re-train in the latest compounding techniques to ensure the best medication is provided to your patients. Most pharmacists do not have this type of needed expertise.
