Did you know?

Compounding pharmacies are types of pharmacies that prepare special medications by mixing (or compounding) raw ingredients. In the 1920's and 30's a majority of the medications were made by pharmacists for a specific patient. Today though, compounded prescriptions only represent about 1% of all prescription drugs.
