Compounding is the Art and Science of Creating Personalised Medications
Compounded medications are "made from scratch" - individual ingredients are mixed in the exact strength and dosage form required by the patient. This method allows the compounding pharmacist to collaborate with the patient and the prescriber to customise a medication to meet the patient’s specific needs.
A Brief History of Compounding
At one time, nearly all prescriptions were compounded. However, with the rise of mass drug manufacturing in the 1950s and '60s, compounding rapidly declined. The pharmacist’s role shifted from being a preparer of medications to a dispenser of manufactured dosage forms, leading to a decline in pharmacists trained to compound medications. Nevertheless, the "one-size-fits-all" nature of many mass-produced medications meant that some patients' needs were not being fully addressed.

Our pharmacists are passionate about providing the highest level of customised care to each patient. For every compound, we complete a risk assessment analysis and take the time to obtain detailed information from the patient or their carer. We work closely with patients and their prescribing doctor to find solutions to give the best possible therapeutic outcomes.
