Increasingly, pharmacists are seeing drug shortages, more complex drug therapy problems in our aging population, people taking medication to combat side effects and a growing movement towards living healthier. Compounding pharmacies can prepare medications that are not commercially available and create unique products to suite an individual’s particular situation. Reasons to turn to a compounding pharmacy include; inability to swallow a pill, an allergy to gluten or dyes, or a drug may be in short supply. A compounding pharmacy can add appealing flavours, create unique dosage forms and provide innovative delivery methods to make it easier for you to take your medicine.
