Custom Compounded Medications for Cough and Respiratory Support
Chronic Cough and Respiratory Support Discover how a compounding pharmacy customizes cough and respiratory medications by ingredient, strength and delivery method for patient-specific care.
Chronic cough and respiratory conditions affect an estimated 12 million adults in the United States each year, and managing these concerns often requires medications tailored to the individual patient’s needs. When commercially available formulations do not provide the right strength, ingredient combination or dosage form, compounding offers healthcare providers a way to customize prescriptions. A 503A compounding pharmacy like Pharmacy Solutions works directly with prescribers to prepare respiratory medications in a variety of forms, including custom cough syrups, nebulized solutions, preservative-free nasal sprays, troches and capsules in nonstandard strengths. The pharmacy is PCAB accredited for both sterile and non-sterile compounding and maintains compliance with USP <797> and USP <800>. Patients also have access to pharmaceutical-grade over-the-counter supplements that may support respiratory and immune health, including Ortho Molecular OrthoMune, Ortho Molecular Natural D-Hist and Ortho Molecular Viracid, all available for purchase without a prescription.

My cough had gone on for months and nothing off the shelf was working. My doctor prescribed a custom formulation and the pharmacy worked with her to get it right. The whole process was reassuring.
Frequently Asked Questions About Compounded Cough and Respiratory Medications
What is a compounded cough or respiratory medication?
A compounded cough or respiratory medication is a prescription preparation custom made by a licensed pharmacist based on a healthcare provider’s order. It is tailored to a specific patient’s needs, which may include a unique combination of ingredients, a different strength or an alternative dosage form.
Do I need a prescription for a compounded respiratory medication?
Yes. All compounded cough and respiratory medications are prescription products. Your healthcare provider must evaluate your condition and submit a prescription to the pharmacy before a compounded medication can be prepared.
Why would my doctor recommend compounding for a cough or respiratory condition?
Your provider may recommend compounding if the medication you need is not available in the right strength, combination or form. This is common when patients need specific ingredient combinations, have sensitivities to inactive ingredients, require nebulized solutions or need pediatric-friendly formulations.
Can compounded respiratory medications be made as nebulized solutions?
Yes. Compounding pharmacies can prepare many respiratory medications as nebulized solutions for direct airway delivery. These preparations are compounded under sterile conditions and must meet strict quality standards for particle size and sterility.
What quality standards does Pharmacy Solutions follow for respiratory compounding?
Pharmacy Solutions is PCAB accredited for both sterile and non-sterile compounding and maintains compliance with USP <797> and USP <800>. All ingredients are sourced from FDA-registered suppliers, and preparations undergo independent third-party testing.
Can compounded cough medications be made without alcohol, sugar or dyes?
Yes. One of the primary advantages of compounding is the ability to remove specific inactive ingredients. If you have a sensitivity to alcohol, sugar, dyes or preservatives commonly found in commercial cough products, your provider can prescribe a formulation that excludes those components.
Can compounded respiratory medications be shipped to my home?
Yes. Pharmacy Solutions is licensed to ship compounded medications to patients across the country. Your medication can be shipped directly to your home with proper packaging and storage instructions included.
