Drug compounding is the science of preparing custom, personalized medications for patients and pets to improve care and reduce side effects. Compounding drugs allows us to change the size, delivery type, dosage and taste of your medications based on your individual needs. Thomas Seashore Drugs is one of the few pharmacies in the Carolinas with a state-of-the-art compounding lab in-house. And with more than a century of compounding experience, you can trust us to get it right.

Why compounding?
Drug compounding solves a variety of health care challenges. Compounding pharmacies like ours provide unique solutions for patients who can’t handle mass-produced medications.

Creating custom medications is helpful for those who:

• Can’t take certain medications due to unpleasant side effects
• Are struggling with a child who can’t swallow pills or rejects unsavory flavors
• Are allergic to common medication fillers–we can create medications without casein, gluten, fragrances, alcohol, sugar, allergens or dyes.
• Need custom medication strengths or dosages 
• Need custom medication delivery types, such as creams, ointments or suppositories
• Need medications combined for easier delivery

Compounded medications are generally covered by insurance. If you have questions or concerns, please call our pharmacists for direct assistance.
