Compounding Center

At The Medicine Shoppe and The Medicine Center Pharmacies we understand that each of us is different. Sometimes standard medications may not be adequate for you. Compounding formulates medication–solids, liquids and topical treatments–to precise individual needs. Compounding allows us to customize your dosage, offset allergic reactions and can improve the taste of the medication, which is great for little ones! Best of all, compounding is safe.

In October 2007, The Medicine Shoppe in New Philadelphia earned the Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board’s Seal of Accreditation, a system of standards created by some of the leading organizations in the pharmacy profession. The Medicine Shoppe in New Philadelphia was the first Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy in the nation and only the second pharmacy in Ohio to receive the honor.

With the high volume of prescriptions that are compounded each year there existed a need for an enhanced, profession-wide system of standards by which each compounding pharmacy can test its quality processes. While compounding pharmacies are regulated by the state, PCAB Accreditation is an even more comprehensive way to ensure a compounding pharmacy is meeting the highest qualitly and safety standards. The accreditation confirms our commitment to providing safe, personalized solutions that meet the medical needs of their patients, and the needs of the health care providers int he community who rely on them for specialized medications.
