What Compounding Means Pharmacists have compounded medication for patients for centuries and the history of pharmacy has its roots firmly embedded in compounding.. From an historical perspective, compounding is the embodiment of the "Art" of pharmacy, which is having the ability and skill to provide a medication in whatever form necessary to treat a patient"s exact need. The "science" of pharmacy takes into account the thremendous strides that have been made in knowledge of how drugs react in the body. The Medicine Shoppe strives to balance the "Art of Pharmacy" from the past with the "Science of Pharmacy" from today.  We are a pharmacy which is dedicated to giving patients and doctors the very best of pharmacy service through compounded medications and educational services.
