The compounding process simply refers to the
process of changing a medication slightly or adding new ingredients to it.
During the compounding process, pharmacies may add new
ingredients or change the current ones slightly to personalize the
medication for a patient based on prescribers recommendations.
For example, compounding pharmacies may add vitamins to a medication or take
out a known allergen. Another popular reason for compounding is to transform
a medication into a liquid for patients who have difficulty
swallowing.
The FDA allows medications to be compounded during shortages (as is currently
the case with semaglutide). Compounded GLP-1 injections are fulfilled and
shipped from Eden’ network pharmacies. The treatments that
customers receive from Eden come from and state-licensed pharmacies. Eden
only partners with pharmacies that maintain quality and safety standards.
