Compound Drugs

The Military Health System's highest priority is the safety, health and well-being of our beneficiaries. Compound drugs are:

  • A combination of two or more drugs
  • Prepared by a pharmacist
  • For an individual patient's needs

Some compound drugs contain ingredients the use of which is not supported by a widely recognized body of peer-reviewed clinical evidence.

We screen every ingredient in compound drug prescriptions to ensure they are safe, effective and appropriate for our beneficiaries.

  • Visit the TRICARE website for more information about compound drugs.
  • Get the prior authorization to request individual review of a compound claim that did not pass the screen.
