Many patients cannot use medicine that is commercially available. This could be because a specific strength is not available, unavailability or discontinuation of a medicine or an allergic reaction or sensitivity to the commercial product due to the preservative, dye or an ingredient within the commercial product. Depending on the circumstances, and always with your doctor’s consent, we can change the strength of a medication, alter its form to make it easier for you to ingest, and/or add flavour to make it more palatable.

​

We can also prepare the medication using several delivery systems, such as sublingual troches or lozenges, emulsions, creams, suppositories, pessaries, ointments and capsules.
Or, for those patients who have difficulty in swallowing capsules, we can make a suspension instead. We prepare medicine that is no longer available on the market as long as the ingredients are available and it is permitted to compound such ingredients.

We focus on meeting special needs. The ultimate goal in preparing any of these customised medications is to help the doctor and patient achieve a more positive therapeutic outcome.
