Compounding

Pharmaceutical compounding is the art and science of preparing personalized medications for patients.

• Delivering medicines in dosage forms not commercially available (eg: liquids for children).
• Making medicines more palatable by altering the flavour and dosage forms.
• Medicines catered for those who have allergies (eg: lactose, gluten, preservatives, dyes, sugar).
• Attaining medications not available due to being temporary out of stock with suppliers or that have been discontinued.
• Preparing differing strengths not commercially available to ensure patients receive the optimal dose
