What Are Compounded Medications?
Compounded medications are prescriptions that are custom-mixed based on your doctor’s orders.
They may be used when:
- A commercial drug is unavailable or discontinued
- A patient is allergic to an ingredient in a standard medication
- A different strength or dosage form (cream, liquid, suppository, etc.) is needed
- Better tolerability or compliance is needed for children, pets, or patients with swallowing issues

Sterile Compounding Services
Massey Drugs provides sterile compounding for medications that must be prepared in a completely controlled, contaminant-free environment. These medications are administered in ways that bypass the body’s natural barriers, so they require a higher level of safety and precision. We follow USP <797> sterile compounding standards to ensure each product is prepared under aseptic conditions using specialized equipment and cleanroom facilities.
Common sterile compounds we prepare include:
- Injectable medications (e.g., testosterone, vitamin injections)
- Sterile ophthalmic drops (e.g., compounded Losartan or Naltrexone eye drops)
- Inhalation therapies (rare but applicable in specific clinical use)
If your provider prescribes a sterile compounded medication, our team is fully equipped to handle it safely and efficiently.
Frequently Asked Questions About Compounded Medications
How do I get my medication compounded?
First, talk to your healthcare provider. If they determine a compounded medication is appropriate, they’ll send a prescription to Massey Drugs via FAX (800-637-2601) or phone (833-540-3500). Once we receive it, our pharmacy team will confirm your details and begin preparing your medication.
How long does it take to get a compounded medication?
Most compounded medications are prepared and picked-up or shipped within 24 to 48 hours after we confirm your address and prescription details. We use discreet packaging and provide tracking so you know when to expect your order.
How do I refill a compounded prescription with Massey Drugs?
You can request a refill by calling us directly at 833.540.3500 or submitting a request through our online form. We’ll verify your shipping address and any updates before preparing and sending your next order.
Can my doctor adjust the strength or ingredients in a compounded medication?
Yes. Customization is a core benefit of compounding. If your provider wants to make adjustments, they can send us an updated prescription, and we’ll modify your formulation accordingly.
Will my insurance cover a compounded medication?
Insurance coverage for compounded medications varies by plan. Some compounded prescriptions may be reimbursed, while others are considered out-of-pocket. Massey Drugs accepts most major insurance plans and credit cards. We also offer clear cash pricing if coverage is not available.
How much do compounded medications cost?
Costs depend on the ingredients, dosage form, and complexity of the prescription. If you’d like a quote before filling, give us a call.
Can compounded medications be flavored or made easier to take?
Yes. We can flavor liquid medications and adjust dosage forms—such as converting pills into liquids to make them easier to take, especially for children or those with swallowing difficulties.
What is a 503A vs 503B pharmacy?
A 503A pharmacy, like Massey Drugs, is a traditional compounding pharmacy that prepares medications based on individual prescriptions for specific patients. We work closely with healthcare providers to create personalized treatments and follow state pharmacy board regulations and federal standards like USP <795> and <797>.
A 503B outsourcing facility is a larger operation that can produce compounded medications in bulk, often for hospitals or clinics, without needing a prescription for each individual patient. These facilities are regulated by the FDA and must meet current good manufacturing practices (cGMP).
In short:
503A = patient-specific prescriptions (what we do)
503B = bulk compounding for office or hospital use
