Patient safety is of the utmost importance at Granger Pharmacy. To ensure your safety, a sterile compounding pharmacy must adhere to United States Pharmacopeia (USP) standards for best practices and maintaining a clean environment. All products created must meet or exceed federal, state, and local regulations.

Sterile compounds

Injections, infusions, or applications to the eye.  

These medications must be prepared in a “cleanroom” by appropriately trained personnel to ensure a germ-free product.

Non-sterile compounds

Solutions, suspensions, ointments, creams, powders, suppositories, capsules, and tablets.

These medications do not require a “cleanroom”, but still need to be prepared properly to ensure a stable and uniform product is made. 

If you experience trouble swallowing, require faster response to medications, or have allergies to some of the inactive ingredients, a compounded medication may be right. As always, speak with your healthcare professional before starting any new medications.

All compounded medications require a prescription from your licensed healthcare provider.
