Explanation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compounding_pharmacies

Pharmaceutical compounding (done in compounding pharmacies) is the creation of a particular pharmaceutical product to fit the unique need of a patient. To do this, compounding pharmacists combine or process appropriate ingredients using various tools. This may be done for medically necessary reasons, such as to change the form of the medication from a solid pill to a liquid, to avoid a non-essential ingredient that the patient is allergic to, or to obtain the exact dose(s) needed or deemed best of particular active pharmaceutical ingredient(s). It may also be done for more optional reasons, such as adding flavors to a medication or otherwise altering taste or texture. Compounding is most routine in the case of intravenous/parenteral medication, typically by hospital pharmacists, but is also offered by privately owned compounding pharmacies and certain retail pharmacies for various forms of medication. Whether routine or rare, intravenous or oral, etc., when a given drug product is made or modified to have characteristics that are specifically prescribed for an individual patient – it is known as "traditional" compounding.

Galena was founded in April 14th., 1987 devoted to making a remarkable revolution within the Brazilian pharmaceutical market. Their history started with the recurrence of the compounding pharmacies in Brazil, which used to have great difficulties with the acquisition of raw materials in small quantities. It was the time when Galena was born, having the mission to intermediate the procurement of raw materials and starting the fractionating activity in small quantities as required by those pharmacies. Besides, their compromise has been to ensure the highest quality of those products ever since.
Owing to Galena's committment, their growth has been superb and has played a great role to the development of the whole segment of the compounding pharmacies. Another path was openned by Galena, when they started to offer solutions and logistics to the industrial brazilian segment as well, i.e. pharmaceutical, food and veterinary, coming out to be the major reknown Distributor in the country.
