Frequently Asked Questions

What is compounding?

Compounding is formulating medication specifically for an individual.It means we customize your medication’s ingredients and dosage form (pills, lozenges, troches, injections, ointments, oral, topical, etc.), distinctively for you. We can combine different medications, treat multiple concerns with one form of treatment, and customize your dose, instead of just throwing you whatever inflexible options are on the market. Compounding opens up a world of personalized treatment that is still pharmaceutically sound and rigorously regulated, but personal.

Is Compounding Safe? What standards are followed at BlendRx?

Absolutely. BlendRx not only complies with all state and federal regulations but exceeds them to ensure the highest standards of safety and quality.We rigorously vet our vendors and pharmaceutical ingredients, continuously test materials and products through third-party assessments, and maintain a comprehensive internal quality assurance program. Our team undergoes ongoing training to ensure mastery, and we’re committed to maintaining aseptic conditions to prevent contamination.At BlendRx, healthcare is personal, and we never compromise on quality or safety—it's in our nature.

What sets BlendRx apart from others?

At BlendRx, we stand out by specializing in custom-compounded medications tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Unlike traditional pharmacies that dispense mass-produced medications, we offer personalized solutions, adjusting dosages, formulations, and even removing allergens to fit individual requirements. We also provide specialized services like bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), dermatology, weight management, and veterinary compounding. By working closely with healthcare providers, we ensure safe, effective treatments designed specifically for each patient, offering a level of personalized care that sets us apart.

Does insurance cover compounded medications?

Some insurance companies may cover compounded medications, while others decide case by case or offer no coverage. However, compounded medications are often more affordable out-of-pocket due to insurance tiered pricing. Opting for a longer prescription, like 60 or 90 days, can help lower costs. Since compounding requires precise work, larger prescriptions are more cost-effective in the long run.We’re here to help you explore your options!

Is compounding medication for children an option?

Compounding is especially helpful for children’s medications. At BlendRx, we take sensitivities and specific needs seriously, customizing the application method, form, and flavor to make treatment easier and more pleasant for kids.

Is compounding safe for pets?

Absolutely! Pets have their own preferences and sensitivities. If they resist medication, compounding allows us to customize it for better taste or easier disguise, making treatment more manageable.
