Final answer:

A pharmacist can compound commercially available products unless the drug is unavailable in the desired dosage or form, it is for a patient with specific allergies or other conditions that require custom formulation, or it is not available due to a shortage or discontinuation.

Step-by-step explanation:

A pharmacist can't compound commercially available products UNLESS:

  1. The drug is unavailable in the desired dosage or form.
  2. The drug is for a patient with specific allergies or other conditions that require custom formulation.
  3. The drug is not available due to a shortage or discontinuation.

Pharmacists typically do not compound their own drugs anymore, but in certain cases, they may need to compound medications when specific patient needs cannot be met by commercially available products.
