What is compounding?
Most medicine is made in large batches, in a few set sizes and forms. Compounding is making one medicine for one person, when those set options don't fit. It always starts with a prescription.
- A liquid for someone who can't swallow pills.
- A version without the dye or filler you react to.
- A flavored dose, sized for a child or a cat.

Straight answers about compounding
Compounded medications are not FDA approved, and they are not right for everyone. These are the questions patients and prescribers ask us most.
What is a compounding pharmacy?
A compounding pharmacy prepares a medication for one patient, to a prescriber's written order, by combining or adjusting ingredients. It is used when an approved product does not fit, such as when a patient needs a different strength, a liquid instead of a tablet, or a formula without an ingredient they react to.
Where is Mixwell located?
Mixwell Compounding Pharmacy is at 13788 Roswell Ave, Ste 158, Chino, CA 91710. We serve Chino Hills, Ontario, Pomona, Diamond Bar, and Rancho Cucamonga, and we deliver across California.
How long does compounding take?
Turnaround depends on the formula and the ingredients. Call (909) 378-7301 and we will give you an estimate. The pharmacist confirms timing when your prescription is received.
Do I need a prescription for a compounded medication?
Yes. Every compounded preparation is made for one patient with a valid prescription from a licensed prescriber, such as a physician, nurse practitioner, dentist, or veterinarian. If you do not have one yet, ask your provider whether a compounded preparation fits your situation, and they can send the order to us.
Are compounded medications FDA approved?
No. Compounded preparations are not reviewed or approved by the FDA for safety or effectiveness. The FDA recommends an FDA approved drug when one is available and appropriate for the patient. Your prescriber decides when a compounded preparation fits.
How do I transfer a prescription to Mixwell?
Call the pharmacy with your current pharmacy's name and phone number, and the prescription number if you have it. Our pharmacist contacts your current pharmacy and handles the transfer. Please share health details by phone rather than through website forms or email, so they stay protected.
What forms can medications be compounded into?
Common forms include capsules, troches that dissolve in the mouth, flavored oral liquids and suspensions, creams, gels, ointments, rinses, and suppositories, plus transdermal gels for pets. Mixwell is a non sterile pharmacy, so we do not prepare injectables, eye drops, or other sterile products. Your prescriber chooses the form.
Can I stop by the pharmacy?
Yes. Our hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Saturday, 9am to 5pm, by phone and appointment only. Sunday, 9am to 5pm, by phone and appointment only.
Do you accept insurance, and how much does a compounded medication cost?
Mixwell does not accept insurance. Pricing depends on the ingredients, the strength, the form, and the quantity your prescriber orders, so we quote each prescription individually. Call (909) 378-7301 for pricing and any current specials before we compound.
Can I use my HSA or FSA to pay for compounded medications?
You should be able to use a health savings account or flexible spending account for compounded medications prescribed for you. We cannot charge veterinary prescriptions to these accounts. Check your plan's rules if you are unsure, and call the pharmacy for pricing.
Can you compound medications for pets?
Yes, with a prescription from a licensed veterinarian who has a relationship with your animal. Common requests include flavored liquids, transdermal gels for cats, and very small doses for birds, reptiles, and small mammals. Compounded animal drugs are not FDA approved, and your veterinarian decides what is appropriate.
Have a prescription, or a question?
Call and talk with our pharmacist. We'll answer your questions and give you a price before anything is made.
