Compounding

Custom & Personalised Medication

What is “Compounding”?

It is the art where science, chemistry, and medicine are applied to customise medication to meet your specific needs to achieve optimal health outcomes. In our state-of-the-art compounding laboratory, using quality sourced raw ingredients, our expert team can formulate and prepare medications tailoured to you.

  • Do you suffer from allergies or intolerances? Are you are unable to tolerate an inactive ingredient(s) in a medication? We may compound your medication without these ingredients that cause you these issues. (eg. Gluten, lactose, dyes, preservatives, and others)

  • Difficulty taking or swallowing your medications? We may compound your medication into an alternative formulations, such as capsules, liquids, sublingual tablets & troches, creams, ointments, lotions, pessaries, suppositories, and more!

  • Need a specialised dose or strength? We may compound your medication at a dose to meet your needs.

  • Medication is unavailable, discontinued, or out-of-stock? We may compound your medication to ensure you don’t run out!
