Craft Pharmacy

Compounding.

Medicine made by hand, for one patient at a time. It’s in our name.

Our mission

At Craft Pharmacy our mission is to provide the highest quality compounds at the most competitive prices and we are strongly motivated to be set apart from the typical retail pharmacy. We specialize in several types of compounds and we are excited to serve our community!

In plain terms

What compounding actually means.

Most prescriptions come off a shelf in a fixed strength and a fixed form. Compounding is the alternative: we make the medication ourselves, to the exact strength and form your prescriber asks for.

That matters when the commercial version doesn’t fit — a dose that isn’t manufactured, a liquid instead of a tablet, a cream instead of a capsule, or a formula without an ingredient you react to.

It’s made for one person, on a prescription, in our own lab. If you’re not sure whether something can be compounded, call and ask — the answer is often yes.

What we make

Three kinds of compound.

  • Dermatology

    Creams, ointments and gels prepared to a prescriber’s formula and strength.

  • Dental

    Preparations made to order for dental practices and their patients.

  • Veterinary

    Flavored liquids, transdermal gels and small-animal doses. There’s a whole page on this.

How it works

From prescription to pickup.

  1. 1

    Your prescriber sends the prescription

    They specify the medication, the strength and the form. If they want something unusual, they can call and talk it through with us first.

  2. 2

    We make it in our lab

    Measured, mixed and prepared by hand for one patient — you. Sterile preparations are made in our clean room.

  3. 3

    We check it

    Every preparation is checked against the prescription before it is labelled.

  4. 4

    You pick it up

    We’ll call you when it’s ready. Ask for the price at any point and we’ll tell you.

Our clean room

We have a sterile clean room. Most independents don’t.

It’s what lets us prepare sterile compounds and infusions here rather than sending you somewhere else for them. It is also the least glamorous and most expensive thing in the building, and we’re quietly proud of it.

Ask us about a compound.

Tell us what you need and we'll tell you whether we can make it — and what it costs. Prescribers, call (208) 233-1719 or fax (208) 269-4002.

Compounded preparations are not FDA-approved and are prepared for an individual patient pursuant to a prescription.
