Our Difference is Quality
Providing quality compounded medication is our first priority. We use the most current technology in medication compounding such as electric mortar and pestle, autoclave, ointment mill, contamination hood, and highly sensitive digital balances.

We pride ourselves on our commitment to building lifelong relationships with our customers. We work closely with your doctor to meet your individual needs. We want you to feel comfortable with us and encourage you to ask questions about your medication concerns. We have a private consultation room where we can discuss your medications and health concerns in a more personal setting.
Working with Physicians
At Customedica, we value the healthcare triad of Physician, Patient, and Pharmacist. We provide a source of reference for area practitioners and have collaborated with many healthcare providers in the Treasure Valley.
We work to maintain providers’ trust and confidence in our knowledge and our products. Our pharmacists are uniquely qualified to assist with therapeutic interventions concerning compounded products. We have considerable experience with medication in several areas, including hormone replacement, erectile dysfunction, sterile products, pet medicine, and fertility. We strive to be a resource for the practitioners in our valley seeking answers as well as new therapeutic ideas.
