What is a "Compounding Pharmacy"? I have seen that a few times before, here at Susans, but, in 60 years of life I had never heard of that before coming here. (I'm in the US)

Compounding is like back before drug companies had the ability to make pills. You would go to an apothecary / Drugstore and the Pharmacist Compounds your prescription. In other words they mix the different drugs into one medication. Some medications require this because the combined chemicals don't exist in pill form

I like those choices- I was a little wary about stroheckers at one point, but I forgot why... I think it had something to do with injectibles last year or something but I don't know anything about the details.

Strohecker's is good. I think you'd have trouble putting together a complete list of all the ones available in the US. If you mentioned the state you're looking in or the nearest metropolitan area we could probably get you a short list to work with.
When I tried to find one, I had a lot of luck googling "compounding pharmacy" + my town. I live in a pretty big place and there were only a few, so if you're somewhere more rural you may have to rely on one like Strohecker's that does mail order service.
