What is compounding of interest?

Imagine you have children or pets that have a difficult time taking medication. They spit it out or cheek it every time you give it to them. Compounding is taking that same medication and turning it into a cream, lollipop, gel or even a pet treat to make it easier for that child, pet or person to take. A pharmacist can also make the medication into a strength that the person needs. For example, maybe the doctor wants the patient to take 30 mg of a tablet but the tablet only comes in 10mg and 20mg. Rather than take two different pills and pay two different co-pays, the pharmacist can compound the medication into a 30 mg tablet or capsule.
