Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about compounded medications? Our pharmacy team is here to help. Warren’s Drug Store serves patients in Mebane and throughout Alamance County, working with patients and prescribers to make the compounding process clear and straightforward.
When might a compounded medication be helpful?
Compounding may be an option when a commercially available medication doesn’t meet a patient’s individual needs. This may include someone who needs a different strength, dosage form, flavor, or a medication made without certain inactive ingredients.
At Warren’s Drug Store, our compounding pharmacists work with patients and prescribers to prepare medications based on each patient’s specific prescription and needs.
Do I need a prescription for compounded medications?
Yes. Prescription compounded medications are prepared based on a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider.
If you think a compounded medication may be helpful for you, talk with your healthcare provider or call Warren’s. Our pharmacy team can also work directly with your prescriber when questions come up about available dosage forms or compounding options.
How long does it take to prepare a compounded prescription?
Preparation time depends on the medication, formulation, ingredients, and prescription.
Because compounded medications are prepared specifically for the individual patient, they may take longer to fill than a standard prescription. Our team will provide an expected completion time when we receive and review your prescription.
Have a prescription you need soon? Call us at 919-563-3102 and our team can give you more information.
Will my insurance cover compounds?
Insurance coverage for compounded prescriptions varies by insurance plan and medication. Some compounded medications may not be covered or may require the patient to pay out of pocket.
Our team can help you understand the expected cost of your prescription before it is prepared. Call 919-563-3102 if you have questions about pricing or payment options.
What types of compounded medications does Warren's prepare?
Hormone therapy, dermatology, pediatric medications, veterinary medications, low-dose naltrexone, customized capsules, creams, liquids, troches, and other personalized dosage forms where appropriate.
