Why choose a local compounding pharmacy in Wichita?
Dandurand Drugstore is the only pharmacy in Wichita that compounds ALL of its products locally. Most compounders — local and online — ship in mass-produced 503B products or compound only a few items in-house. We make every compound for you, here, with nearly 50 years of experience.

Local compounding questions
Why choose a local compounding pharmacy over an online compounder?
A local compounder lets you talk face to face with the pharmacist who makes your medication, adjust a strength quickly with your provider, and pick up in Wichita instead of waiting on mail-order shipping. Dandurand Drugstore compounds every product in our own Wichita lab.
What is a 503B pharmacy?
A 503B outsourcing facility mass-produces compounded products in large batches, often out of state, and ships them in. Many pharmacies and online compounders rely on 503B products instead of compounding for each patient. Dandurand compounds each prescription individually, here in Wichita.
Does Dandurand compound everything locally?
Yes. Dandurand Drugstore is the only pharmacy in Wichita that compounds ALL of its compounded products locally. Others compound only certain products in-house or rely on 503B suppliers.
How do I switch my compounded prescription to Dandurand?
Have your doctor send or call in a new prescription, ask us to transfer an existing prescription from your current pharmacy, or contact our pharmacist with questions first.
How long does a compounded prescription take?
Most compounded prescriptions are ready in 3–5 business days, with pickup at any of our four Wichita locations or local delivery.
