My Dr. Prescribed A Compounded Cream For Back Pain. It

My Dr. prescribed a compounded cream for back pain. It has diclofenic and lidocaine. The retail cost of the diclofenic was $1687 and the lidocaine was $672. I only had a co-pay of $12.00 for one and $0 for the other, thanks to my supplemental insurance coverage. I'm just curious as to why the compounding cost so much.
