Compounding at Las Colinas Pharmacy
Compounding has been at the heart of pharmacy since its earliest days, and it remains one of the most important ways pharmacists can serve patients today. At Las Colinas Pharmacy, Compounding & Wellness, we are proud to be recognized as one of the nation’s leading independent compounding pharmacies, combining decades of expertise with advanced technology to create customized medications.
What Is Compounding?
Pharmaceutical compounding is the art and science of preparing customized medications. Unlike mass-produced drugs, compounded prescriptions are created specifically for an individual, based on a prescription from their healthcare provider.
This approach allows us to:
- Adjust strengths or dosages not available from manufacturers
- Eliminate allergens, dyes, or fillers that may cause sensitivity
- Create alternative dosage forms such as creams, troches, suspensions, or suppositories
- Combine multiple active ingredients into a single, convenient formulation
By working closely with prescribers, we help ensure patients receive the most appropriate medication for their unique needs.
Why Quality Matters in Compounding
Not all compounding pharmacies are the same. At Las Colinas Pharmacy, we follow rigorous quality standards and use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure accuracy, consistency, and safety in every preparation.
Our pharmacists and technicians undergo extensive training and continuing education to stay current with the latest compounding methods, quality control procedures, and regulatory requirements. Every prescription is prepared with a focus on precision and patient well-being.
Sterile & Non-Sterile Compounding
Different health needs call for different types of compounded medications:
- Sterile Compounding – Medications prepared in a sterile environment, such as injectable therapies, ophthalmic preparations, or otic solutions. These require specialized cleanrooms, equipment, and testing to meet stringent safety standards.
- Non-Sterile Compounding – Includes oral capsules, topical creams, suspensions, lozenges, and more. These are commonly used for dermatology, hormone therapy, pain management, pediatrics, veterinary care, and much more.
Las Colinas Pharmacy is equipped and licensed to perform both sterile and non-sterile compounding, meeting or exceeding standards set by the Texas State Board of Pharmacy and federal regulations.
The Triad: Patient, Physician & Pharmacist
Successful compounding depends on collaboration. At Las Colinas Pharmacy, we work as part of the triad relationship, patient, physician, and pharmacist, developing customized therapies that expand treatment options beyond commercially available products.
If you’ve experienced challenges with traditional medications, ask your healthcare provider if a compounded medication may be appropriate.
A Tradition of Excellence
Since opening in 1984, Las Colinas Pharmacy has been a pioneer in compounding. From developing some of the first transdermal hormone preparations in the nation to advancing integrative medicine practices, our pharmacy has been at the forefront of innovation and patient care.
