We’re excited to share that Southern Village Pharmacy in Chapel Hill now offers custom compounded medications in our brand-new, state-of-the-art facility. Our new compounding department allows us to prepare non-sterile, non-hazardous compounded medications for both humans and animals — quickly, safely, and at some of the lowest prices in the area.
We’re proud to be one of the few local pharmacies in North Carolina with a hooded compounding department, which means we can create a wider range of custom medications for your unique needs.
What Is a Compounded Medication?
A compounded medication is one that is specially made by a pharmacist to meet a patient’s specific needs.
Sometimes, regular medicines aren’t quite right — maybe they’re too strong, too weak, or contain ingredients you can’t tolerate. That’s where compounding comes in.
At Southern Village Pharmacy, we can adjust dosage strength, remove unwanted ingredients, or change the form of a medication — such as making a capsule into a liquid or adding flavor to help it go down easier.
We also prepare compounded medications for pets (veterinary compounding). If your cat, dog, or other animal needs a medication that’s not available in the right strength or flavor, we can help.
Why Choose a Compounded Medication?
Here are a few common reasons your doctor might prescribe a compounded medication:
-
You have allergies to dyes, preservatives, or fillers found in standard medications.
-
You or your child have trouble swallowing pills.
-
The medication you need is discontinued or in short supply.
-
You need a custom strength not available from regular manufacturers.
-
You want a flavored version to make medicine easier to take.
-
Your pet needs a special dose or form.
Compounding allows pharmacists to create medications that are tailored exactly to you, not just to the average patient.
Non-Sterile, Non-Hazardous Compounding — What That Means
Our compounding department focuses on non-sterile, non-hazardous medications.
That includes creams, ointments, gels, capsules, and oral liquids — but not injectables or chemotherapy drugs.
These types of compounded medications are used for:

Hormone balancing creams

Pediatric dosage adjustments
