Compounding

Customized prescription solutions

  • Do you have trouble giving medication to your child or family pet?
  • Do you worry about your aging parent taking their medication correctly
  • Do you have to avoid taking medication because of an allergy or intolerance to an ingredient such as a filler, dye or fragrance?

At Associated Maritime Pharmacies Limited we understand that people are not the same and sometimes need medication made especially for them.
Compounding is the science of creating custom medications from scratch to meet specific patient needs.

We can design medications specifically for each patient, working within a triad: physician-patient-pharmacist. If you feel your medications do not ‘fit’ you, if you have trouble giving medication to your child or family pet, if you worry about your aging parent taking their medication correctly, or if you have had to avoid taking medication because of an allergy or intolerance to an ingredient such as a filler, dye or fragrance; our pharmacist team can help you with a customized solution.

Medicine for children

Our pharmacists are able to add flavour to medications to make them more palatable, and thus easier for the child to take. Some medications can also be compounded as lozenges, popscicles, lollipops & gummy bears.

More than pills or capsules

Our Guardian® Pharmacists will be able to tailor medications to meet the specific needs of each patient. Our pharmacist can put the medication in another form to best meet the patient’s needs.

Here are some of the compounding forms we can offer:

  • Solution
  • Suppository
  • Lozenge
  • Lollipop
  • Topical Cream
  • Topical Gel
  • Nebulizer or Inhaler

Precise dosages

We can create capsules with the precise dosage prescribed, so there is no more dividing pills! Often a patient will have to divide pills or take medication more often. This can be challenging for caregivers and patients.
