Compounding

Our pharmacy strives to meet the needs of your family and can proudly compound your medications.

Compounding is the ability to prepare personalized medication for our patients. Many medications come in a tablet form, which is not suitable for all patients.

Our pharmacist can take the active ingredients and create a prescription best suited for each patient. Compounding medications is also great for kids and pets!

Medication Take-Back Services

Is your medicine cabinet full of expired, unused or leftover medication you no longer use?

Seven of our Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist retail pharmacy locations have installed MedSafe® drug collection receptacles which offer a secure, confidential and convenient way to dispose of unwanted controlled, non-controlled and over-the-counter medicines.

Drop-off boxes are available during each pharmacy’s regular business hours.

To drop-off unwanted medications, simply follow these instructions:

- Check the list of accepted items located on the receptacle.
- Leave medicines in original containers, when possible.
- Drop medicines into the receptacle. Note: If the receptacle is locked, please DO NOT leave medications outside of the box.

Drop-off boxes accept human and veterinary medications in pill, liquid (less than 4 oz.) or patch form. Aerosols (inhalers), sharps containers, needles/syringes, batteries, medical devices or illicit drugs are NOT accepted. Pharmacy staff cannot personally accept medications you wish to discard.

Follow these links from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for more information on how to properly dispose of unwanted medication:
