Although many products are being manufactured and packaged by the pharmaceutical industry, there is a growing need for individually, tailor made products, to fulfil patients’ needs and expectations. A compound formulation offers a great opportunity for the physician and pharmacist to procure a personalized treatment for the patient, improving their quality of life.

Patients are increasingly aware that if the medicine doesn't cure, it harms: therefore they expect a personalized approach to their medical troubles. Patients rightly expect their pharmacists to be their confidant and advisor and as a result consider them jointly responsible with their doctors for the effectiveness of the treatment. We believe that in many cases a magistral preparation (boutique, tailor-made product) is the right solution which avoids unnecessary medication.
