What Is Compounding?

Compounding is the process of creating custom medications that cater to the specific needs of a patient, when commercially available options aren’t the right fit. A compounded medication is prepared from scratch, based on a valid prescription, using high-quality ingredients and precise measurements.

At AZ MIX, every compound is made by our licensed pharmacy team with care, accuracy, and the individual in mind.

Why Is Compounding Prescribed?

Providers may prescribe compounded medications to:

• Adjust medication strength outside of commercial ranges
• Offer alternative dosage forms (e.g., troche instead of capsule)
• Remove allergens, dyes, or unnecessary fillers
• Combine multiple active ingredients into one preparation
• Customize medications for pediatric, geriatric, or veterinary use
• Replace discontinued or hard-to-find commercial products

If your body needs something different from what’s on the shelf, compounding may be a solution.

How We Compound at AZ MIX

As a patient-focused pharmacy, our compounding process is built around communication, safety, and respect. We work closely with prescribing providers to ensure every formula aligns with the patient’s treatment goals.

We compound in a state-regulated facility using:

• High-quality, pharmacy-grade ingredients
• USP <795> and <800> compliance standards (as applicable)
• Ingredient-conscious practices (e.g., clear capsules, preservative-free options)

No mass production. No shortcuts. Every order is made for one person—or one pet—at a time.

Dosage Forms We Offer

We can prepare non-sterile compounds in a wide variety of forms, including:

• Capsules (including dye-free or filler-sensitive options)
• Oral suspensions or flavored liquids
• Topical creams, gels, or ointments
• Troches (dissolvable lozenges)
• Suppositories
• Nasal sprays
• Transdermal applications
• Veterinary formats (flavored suspensions, transdermals, etc.)

If you’re unsure what’s best, our team will work with your provider to determine the most appropriate format.

Clean, Personalized, Accessible

At AZ MIX, we prioritize formulations that are as clean and accessible as possible. We believe patients shouldn’t have to compromise on their values to take their medications—and we’re here to provide options.

Whether you need a peanut oil-free hormone capsule, a suspension free of xylitol, or a custom dose for a tiny pet, we’ll help make it happen with respect and care.
