HEALTH Matters So what is compounding?

Compounding is the act of customising medications, supplements, or herbal products to suit a particular patient’s needs. Yes, it is tailor made just for you!

Ancient Egyptians used the leaves from the willow tree to reduce inflammation of wounds. Today, compounding is a lot more complex, safe, and accurate. As a specialised compounding chemist, we have dedicated lab equipment that assists in the processes of compounding. For example, the weight is checked by computer, the liquid mixture and powder are processed in machines to ensure mixing consistency. The lab is separated from the main pharmacy area, and filter and fume hoods are installed to improve safety and reduce contamination. Compounded medicines can be tailored for every member of the family from adults to infants, even your pets. No-one is out of bounds.

Have you ever tried cutting a small tablet into quarters? By compounding your medicine into a smaller dose, you can be sure that your dose is accurate every time.

Pet prescriptions can be made as individual as your furry friend, even giving their medicines a unique flavour such as salmon, chicken, or tuna. We’ve made medicines for cats, dogs, horses and even a turtle! Talk to us about your pet’s prescription needs and how we can tailor it to them.
