Coming up on this episode of The Doctor's Pharmacy. May utilize active pharmaceutical ingredients that have been FDA approved, but in order for a drug to be considered FDA approved, it has to go through the FDA approval process. And that process may take 10 plus years and billions of dollars. Well, that may not make sense for a small patient population that needs their medications today.

I'm very lucky to have been introduced to this industry that gives us the ability to help millions of patients get access to quality, affordable medicine. And if you think about compounding, compounding has been around since the beginning of time. Before big pharma existed, everything was compounded.

I'm sure you can imagine pictures of an old apothecary where they're making a concoction at the bequest of the practitioner. and using mortars and pestles. Well, that is compounding. And before the industrialization of manufacturing for the pharmaceutical industry, everything was compounded.

And it wasn't till the early 1900s where we saw that get transferred into factories away from the local apothecary or druggist. And by the 1930s, we saw about 75% of medications were compounded. Fast forward to the 1975, where it became only about 25% of prescriptions were compounded.

And then you fast forward to today, where only about 1% to 3% of compounded medications are prescribed in this country. Compounding has kind of gone the wayside over the past 150 years, but now we're seeing a resurgence because more patients and providers are becoming more knowledgeable about compounding pharmacies and the use that compounding pharmacies have when customizing dosage forms.

So compounders like us, let's say you have a medication that contains a dye from a commercial product or is back-ordered, discontinued, orphaned, or just not available in a certain dose of strength, form, or combination.
