About us
CarePlus Compounding pharmacy provides customised medication solutions to meet the specific needs of patients.
Compounded medications can provide alternative solutions for patients who may require a different strength of medication that is not available in the market or may require a different dosage form such as cream, suppository, chewable or liquid.
Additionally, we can provide an alternative solution when patients experience problems such as allergies to dyes or palatability issues as well as custom make discontinued/commercially unavailable products. We can also formulate medications free of sugar, lactose, gluten, casein, soy or dyes.
Our goal is to work closely with medical practitioners to achieve optimal health outcomes for patients.
What Is Compounding?
Compounded medications are made based on a practitioners' prescriptions in which individual ingredients are mixed together in the exact strength and dosage form required by the patient. This method allows the compounding pharmacist to work with the patient and the prescriber to customize a medication to meet the patient’s specific needs.
Compounding Benefits
At one time nearly all prescriptions were compounded. Patients used to take their prescriptions to the pharmacy where the pharmacist would have to individually mix all the ingredients of the medication precisely.
Nowadays compounding is still an ideal method to meet patients' individual needs. By compounding medicines, we give patients the personalised care that they need.
With just a prescription from your doctor, a compounding pharmacist can customise your medication to the specific drug strength requested to meet your needs, alter its form to make it easier to swallow or digest and add flavour to make it taste better.
The pharmacist can prepare the medication in different dosage forms including suspensions, capsules, sublingual troches, lozenges, lollipops and many more.
This results in a medication that helps increase patient compliance and achieve optimal health outcomes.
