Overview
COMPOUNDING
Compounding is the art and science of preparing individualized
medications. Compounded medications are created from basic
powders that are mixed together in exact measurements. This method allows the compounding pharmacist to work directly with the prescriber to customize a medication to meet the patient’s specific needs. Pharmacists combine appropriate ingredient(s) with mortars & pestles, unguators, and mills. This may be done for medical necessity, such as to change the form of the medication to creams, gels, or liquids to avoid a non-essential ingredient that the patient has allergies to, or to obtain the exact dose needed.
RETAIL
We are a local community pharmacy having a state license to dispense medications to the general public at retail prices as a pharmacy in the Triangle area. Our pharmacy dispenses prescription medications to patients primarily in the Professional Park offices, walk-ins, and long-term care facilities.
LONG TERM CARE
The long-term care department plays an important role in providing services in medication management and prescriptions to assisted living facilities, residential care, and nursing homes.

WHAT IS COMPOUNDING?
Compounding combines an ageless art with the latest medical knowledge and state-of-the-art technology, allowing specially trained professionals to prepare customized medications to meet each patient’s specific needs. Compounding is fundamental to the profession of pharmacy and was a standard means of providing prescription medications before drugs began to be produced in mass quantities by pharmaceutical manufacturers. The demand for professional compounding has increased as healthcare professionals and patients realize that the limited number of strengths and dosage forms that are commercially available do not meet the needs of many patients and that these patients often have a better response to a customized dosage form that is “just what the doctor ordered.”
At Aspirar Pharmacy, our compounding professionals can prepare:
-
unique dosage forms containing the best dose of medication for each individual.
-
medications in dosage forms that are not commercially available, such as transdermal gels.
-
medications free of problem-causing excipients such as dyes, sugar, lactose, gluten, or alcohol.
-
combinations of various compatible medications into a single dosage form for easier administration and improved compliance.
-
medications that are not commercially available.
​
The efficacy of any formulation is directly related to its preparation, which is why the selection of your compound pharmacy is essential. Ongoing training for compounding pharmacists and technicians, state-of-the-art equipment, and high-quality chemicals are essential. Experience and ingenuity are important factors as well. When tweaking a formula or developing a unique preparation, the compounding pharmacist must consider the physical and chemical properties of both the active ingredient and excipients, solubility, tonicity, viscosity, and the most appropriate dosage form or device for administering the needed medication. Our compounding professionals can formulate suitable medications such as sublingual drops, oral and nasal sprays, and other customized dosage forms.
