Specialty compounding is the practice of a trained pharmacist altering a medication with the approval of the attending physician. This allows pharmacists to remove allergy-triggering dyes, harmful preservatives, or other unpleasant ingredients.

Sometimes, new delivery methods can be developed, like lozenges, lollipops, gummies, dermal gels, or liquid suspensions for patients who cannot swallow pills. Our pharmacists can even add your choice of flavouring.

Pharmacists can also create new formulations to reduce side effects, or to combine different medicines into a single dosage form.
