Patient-Specific Prescription Fulfillment

Meaning

Patient-Specific Prescription Fulfillment is the highly individualized process of preparing and dispensing a medication strictly according to a licensed practitioner’s order for a single, identified patient, which is a core function of compounding pharmacies. This method ensures that the dosage, formulation, and route of administration are perfectly tailored to the unique physiological requirements or sensitivities of the individual. It is the clinical manifestation of personalized medicine in the pharmaceutical dispensing process, moving beyond standardized, mass-produced drug forms.
