COMPOUNDED AND CUSTOMIZED MEDICATIONS

From experiencing side effects from a medication to providing your patient with a medication that’s discontinued, we can create custom medications for health professionals in our onsite laboratory.

The KW Pharmacy was one of the first and is one of the only a few pharmacies in the Region that has an onsite compounding laboratory and the expertise to create custom medications. This allows professionals in the medical and health fields to have medications created specifically for their patient’s unique needs. This includes specific dosages, method of delivery, replacement of discontinued medications, and higher or lower strengths.

Our current list of professionals are listed below in alphabetical order:

Doctors

When specific dosages, strengths, and delivery methods are required, compounding is the answer.

Paediatricians

When a child has issues taking their medicine, we can compound medications in a syrup or suspension form with a flavour that makes it easier and more pleasant to take. When commercial products are not available or have been discontinued, we can compound custom medications to meet specific dosages, strengths, and delivery methods.

Sports Physicians

From creams for pain due to muscle injuries and inflammation to ultrasound gels containing anti-inflammatory drugs for use by physiotherapists, we can compound a wide range of products that are unique to the needs of your clients. Has a product been changed or discontinued? Is there something specific that you require? Compounding is the answer and we will work with you to provide it.

Veterinarians

We can compound custom medications and treatments for dogs and cats that are unique to their needs. This includes providing a prescribed medicine with a flavour that’s more appropriate and enticing to a specific type and breed of animal.

We can flavour medication with beef, cheese, chicken, liver, or even peanut butter for dogs. Salmon, sardine, or tuna flavouring is popular for cats while alfalfa, apple, or carrot can be compounded for horses.

Dosage forms include topical preparations, solutions, suspensions, flavoured “treats,” oral pastes, capsules, and injections. If a smaller dosage is required for an animal, we can compound the medication into the smaller increment needed or for larger animals, we can concentrate their medication. When a medication is only available in one tablet size, we can compound it to a different size that is easier to swallow.
