Pharmacy compounding is the art and science of preparing personalized medications for patients.
SaveWay Compounding Pharmacy is a licensed pharmacy where all medications are customized formulations prepared specifically for each patient.
In other words, SaveWay does not dispense commercially available drugs. Each prescription is prepared on site with the basic chemical ingredients required by the doctor's order.
Host of The Wizard of Eyes, Dr. Robert Abel, welcomes Certified Pharmacy Technician, Brenda Pavlic, to discuss SaveWay Compounding Pharmacy and how it can customize your medication to fit your exact needs if you are allergic to certain ingredients and preservatives or require a lower dose.
