Custom Compounding Pharmacy Services - Kirby Rx

Personalized Medications Tailored to Your Needs

Custom compounding allows us to create personalized medications specifically formulated for your unique health needs. When standard medications don't work or aren't available, our licensed pharmacists can compound custom solutions—from alternative dosages to specialized formulations.

Compounded products are made on demand meaning pricing varies between each compound. Please contact our team to learn more about how compounding can work for you or to get a quote for your prescription.

What is Pharmacy Compounding?

Compounding is the art and science of creating custom medications tailored to individual patient needs. Our pharmacists combine, mix, and prepare medications to create:

  • Different dosages than commercially available
  • Alternative formulations (liquids, creams, capsules, lozenges)
  • Medications without certain allergens or inactive ingredients
  • Specialized delivery methods

Allergies – You're allergic to fillers or ingredients in commercial drugs

Dosage Issues – You need a different strength than what's available

Can't Swallow Pills – You need liquid or another form

Pediatric Needs – You need child-friendly medication
