Abstract | When it comes to providing patients with individualized therapies, compounded drugs have been an indispensable tool throughout the whole history of pharmacy. Before the advent of medicines manufactured in large quantities, the conventional method for synthesizing drugs was known as compounding. Despite this, its peak time has become a thing of the past due to developments in industrial manufacturing and regulatory control. Compounding is a crucial service for patients who want exact doses, formulations devoid of allergens, or medications that have been stopped. However, compounding has recently experienced a drop in popularity due to the standardization of medicines, even though it has been around for a considerable amount of time. On the other hand, the modern healthcare system is witnessing a revival of this practice. Several factors, including the development of tailored medicine, adjustments to regulatory policies, and creative technological advancements, are driving this revival. Nevertheless, problems associated with quality assurance, compliance with regulations, and safety concerns continue to manifest. The future of compounding will be determined by technology's capacity to incorporate innovation while upholding high safety compliance criteria. It can improve conventional pharmaceutical procedures to assure the availability of patient-specific drugs if it is appropriately acknowledged and controlled. To determine if compounding is a process that is no longer relevant or whether it is an essential component of the future of healthcare, this article investigates both the benefits and the drawbacks of compounding. |
