Why this option?
Ask what specific need a compounded preparation would address and which FDA-approved alternatives are available.
Morrow / Compounded care
A prescription made for an individual need.
A personal approach starts with a clinical conversation—not a one-size-fits-all prescription. Explore the role of patient-specific 503A compounded care.
Explore your care
Considered carefully.
Prescribed individually.
When an approved medication cannot meet a particular medical need, a clinician may consider a compounded option.
A licensed clinician evaluates your health history, existing medications, goals, and appropriate alternatives. If a compounded medication is appropriate, a valid patient-specific prescription is reviewed by a licensed pharmacy.
There is no guaranteed prescription or universal formula. Formulation, eligibility, monitoring, and availability depend on the individual patient and applicable requirements.
Three conversations
worth having.
Know the reason. Understand the risks.
Have a plan for what comes next.
What should I know?
Discuss potential side effects, interactions, quality risks, pharmacy details, and how to use and store the medication.
How will we follow up?
Understand what to monitor, when to check in, and whom to contact if something doesn’t feel right.
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. FDA does not review their safety, effectiveness, or quality before marketing.
Good questions.
Clear answers.
Do I need bloodwork before treatment?
Not always. A licensed clinician considers your history, symptoms, medications, and goals before deciding whether testing is useful. The tests and timing should answer a specific clinical question.
What does 503A mean?
Section 503A of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act describes conditions for certain compounded drugs, including a valid prescription for an identified individual patient. Compounding may be considered when an FDA-approved medication cannot meet a particular patient’s medical needs.
Are compounded medications FDA-approved?
No. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. The FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness, or quality before marketing. Compounding carries risks, including contamination and incorrect strength. Ask your clinician about approved alternatives and the risks and benefits for you.
Does a consultation guarantee a prescription?
No. A licensed clinician independently decides whether treatment is appropriate. A licensed pharmacy separately reviews whether it can prepare and dispense a prescribed medication. Eligibility and availability vary by patient, state, clinician, and pharmacy.
