Healthline has announced that compounded medications may be medically necessary in cases where patients have allergies or require alternative formulations to FDA-approved drugs.
Compounded medications are considered essential for patients with unique medical needs that cannot be met by standard FDA-approved drugs. According to Yale Health, these medications can be tailored to exclude allergens, ensuring patient safety and treatment efficacy for individuals with allergies to specific inactive ingredients, such as dyes or preservatives.
The Alliance for Pharmacy Compounding reports that compounded prescriptions constitute a small but significant portion of the pharmaceutical market, accounting for 1% to 3% of all prescriptions in the United States. These customized drugs play a crucial role in addressing specific patient needs that mass-produced medications cannot fulfill.
