WHAT WE OFFER
OUR COMPOUNDING SERVICES
PERSONALIZED
Most medications found on the market have specific dosages. By compounding your medication, we can provide better options for those in need of a specific dosage not available on the market and eliminate the ingredients that may cause an adverse effect or allergic reaction to your body.
AFFORDABLE
Our compounding experts have access to premium medical-grade chemicals that often cost less than those you would find in the patented medications on the market. By eliminating the cost of patenting and expensive drug components, our medications tend to be significantly cheaper.
CONVENIENT
Many patients are required to take prescriptions that require more than 1 medication at a time which can be easy to forget. With our compounding services we make it convenient by combining multiple medicines into one compounded capsule so you dont have to track or remember what to take every day.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Compounding is a technique used to adapt or change your drugs in order to best fit your medical and personal needs. Normally, this is done with a customized prescription recommended by your doctor, where our compounding facility will then combine the necessary ingredients to create the medication.
Compounding can be used to create a great variety of medications for those who cannot take medication orally. Some of these forms include but are not limited to creams, ointments, gels, lozenges, capsules, tablets, suspensions, tinctures, suppositories, transdermals, balms, and more.
There is a certain level of risk associated with any medication, and it’s always important to consult your physician before-hand. Because compounded medications are made right in the pharmacy, they cannot be tested by Health Canada, however all of the individual ingredients used in the compounded medication will have been approved.
If you are seeking compounded medications, it’s best to work with a pharmacy that specializes in compounding, and is willing to discuss all of the details of the medication and work directly with your doctor to determine the best course of action.
Depending on your insurance or benefit plans, many compounds are covered as long as you have a doctor’s prescription. However, its important to know that direct billing is not always available for compounded medications because the insurance companies need details about the compound, such as the different ingredients used. If patients are seeking compounded medicines, they may need to submit their receipts for reimbursements after they have been purchased.
