Title: Impact of Educational Sources on Patient Knowledge and Confidence with Compounded Medications 
 
Author: Kayla Garris 
 
Objective: The primary objective of this study is to determine how the source of education about compounded medications influences patient confidence and knowledge in compounded medications. 
 
Self-Assessment Question: Do patients feel more confident in their compounded medications after receiving information from their healthcare provider or pharmacist? 
 
Background: Compounded medications account for 1% to 3% of all written prescriptions in the United States. For example, patients with allergies to certain dyes, diluents, binding agents or other inactive ingredients may not be able to tolerate commercially available products. For patients who are unable to take commercially available medications, compounding pharmacies across the United States have been able to fill in the gaps to help provide customized prescriptions. The decision to utilize compounded medication is not solely driven by pharmacists as physicians and patients are essential in the conversation about the use of compounds. Physicians must have a basic understanding of the risks and benefits associated with compounded medications to guide therapeutic decision making and advise their patients. While compounded medications are able to fill in gaps for medically necessary alternatives to commercially available medications, it is important to ensure that patients are knowledgeable about their compounds. The purpose of this study is to assess how the source of education about compounds influences patient confidence and knowledge in compounded medications.
