  • Click the “+” icon to the right of the "Dispense Unit" field
  • The ingredient will populate in the list in the right column under “Build a Compound

Repeat this process for every ingredient you would like to add to the compound. Once you have finished building out the ingredient list, enter a name for the compound then select the "Build Compound" button.

  • Select the desired ingredient and strength
  • Provide the Dispense and Total Dispense Form
  • If the desired strength or ingredient is not present in the search results, click Add as a Custom Compound to create a custom ingredient
    • If you select to add a custom ingredient, you must confirm that it is not a controlled substance by checking the box to confirm
  • Repeat the steps and click + Add Compound Ingredients for additional ingredients
  • Complete the remaining prescription information > Create Compound

If an ingredient isn’t available, please follow up with hello@gethealthie.com to let us know. We can then submit a request to Dosespot to add it to their database. To do so, we will need the following information: 

  • Generic Name: 
  • Brand Name: 
  • Drug Class:
  • NDC #:
  • URL for the medication:
    • The NDC code for the medication or the primary ingredient if it's a compounded medication (the code comes from the FDA - compounded medications won't be listed, so you'll need to provide the NDC for the primary medication(s) that need to be compounded). 

Note: the approval to add a medication comes from Lexicomp directly and the turnaround time can vary. Neither Healthie nor Dosespot are able to speed up this process, unfortunately.
