For Prescribers

Customized medications start with a conversation.

Minnich’s Compounding at The Medicine Shoppe York works directly with prescribers to develop patient-specific compounded medications when commercially available products do not meet an individual patient’s needs.

We can assist with formulation questions, dosage-form selection, available strengths, ingredient combinations, vehicle or base selection, and other practical considerations related to compounded prescriptions. If you know the therapy you want but are unsure of the best way to formulate or administer it, our pharmacists are available to collaborate with you.

How to prescribe

Prescriptions may be sent electronically or by other legally accepted methods. Please include the medication or ingredients, strength or concentration, dosage form, quantity, directions for use, and any formulation-specific instructions that are important for the patient.

If you are unsure of the exact formulation, contact us before sending the prescription. We are happy to discuss available options and help identify an appropriate compounded dosage form for the prescribed therapy.
