Compounded medications are prepared by specially trained pharmacists who alter, mix, or combine ingredients to create a medication that’s tailored to a patient’s exact requirements. They are usually prescribed when a standard medication does not meet a patient’s needs.

​

For example, compounding allows for customized dosing of semaglutide and tirzepatide not available commercially.  It also allows it to be combined with other products to meet your individual healthcare needs, thereby improving compliance through a single dosing regimen.

​

You are a unique individual.  Rather than force a "square peg into a round hole", at Potere Health MD we can tailor the medication dose and frequency to your specific physiological needs.  

​

Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. This means that FDA does not verify the safety, effectiveness or quality of compounded drugs before they are marketed.  

​

At Potere Health MD, we take this very seriously.  We go to great lengths to source compounded medications from legitimate sources to ensure your safety and therapeutic efficacy.  Our medication suppliers must pass the following standards:

​​

1) Our suppliers perform third party testing of their medication to ensure adequate quality and sterility.  This information is available from the pharmacy upon request.  

​

2) We only use pharmacies that are LegitScript certified.  LegitScript certification is a credential that verifies a healthcare provider complies with industry standards.
