Custom Care Pharmacy & Compounding Centre
Compounding,
explained.
Compounding prepares medication to match an individual prescription. Talk with our Oshawa team about the strength, dosage form and ingredients prescribed for you.
An individual prescription
Start with the questions that matter to you.
A prescription may call for a particular dosage form, strength or combination of ingredients. If you have difficulty with a medication’s current form, or questions about an ingredient, tell our pharmacist.
Our team can discuss available compounding options with you and your prescriber. You can also ask about medication flavouring and ingredient sensitivities.
Sterile and non-sterile compounding. Our pharmacy offers both. Sterile preparations include selected eye drops and injectables; other dosage forms include creams, gels, oral liquids and lozenges. Contact us about your specific prescription.
A closer look at dosage forms
Different forms. Individual considerations.
These are examples of the forms our pharmacy can discuss with you and your prescriber.
Sterile eye drops
Eye preparations made using sterile compounding processes, according to the prescribed formulation. Ask our team about a specific preparation and its availability.
Creams & gels
Topical dosage forms prepared for an individual formulation. Discuss the ingredients, strength and format specified on your prescription with our pharmacist.
Oral liquids
Liquid dosage forms include solutions and suspensions. An appropriate liquid preparation may be considered when it suits the medication and prescription.
Lozenges
Also called troches, these preparations dissolve in the mouth. Availability depends on the medication, prescribed formulation and pharmacist assessment.
Available preparations depend on your prescription, pharmacist assessment and applicable requirements.
