What is Compounding?

Many individuals don’t respond to traditional methods of treatment and sometimes need their medication adjusted in ways that aren’t manufactured. Compounding is a way for our pharmacy to create personalized medications that are specific to you and your needs. This practice includes state-of-the-art technology, high-quality ingredients, and the most current medical knowledge to ensure you get the best care possible.

A Compounding Pharmacist Can:

• Alter a drug form to make it easier for you to use, such as by making a sublingual troche or lozenge, lollipop, transdermal gel or cream, or a liquid suspension

• Add flavour to make the medication more palatable

• Adjust the amount of medication in each dose to avoid having to split tablets and to provide the most appropriate dose for each individual.

• Remove ingredients that you may be allergic to, such as lactose, sugar, dyes, or alcohol.

• Combine various medications or supplements into single dosage forms for easier administration.

• Adjust the dosage form based on your dietary restrictions, such as by using vegan capsules!
