Frequently Asked Questions
What does compounding mean?
So what sets AVRIO Pharmacy apart from other compounding pharmacies?
We understand how important it is to compound medications to exact dosages. The FDA allows a 10% window of error when making medications. For instance, if we are supposed to weigh 100 milligrams of medication, then it’s acceptable by FDA standards for the final product to be within 90–110 milligrams. Here at AVRIO Pharmacy, we keep that error window at 5%. We use a computerized system to check all of our weights during the compounding process to ensure we stay within that 5% window. If too much or too little is weighed, the computer stops the process until the correct calculated weight is placed on the scale. We do this not because we have to, but because we understand how little medication it takes to throw a person’s system off – which is the case especially when it comes to hormonal and thyroid conditions.
