Pharmacy Compounding, is the art and science of preparing personalised medications for individual patients which are made from scratch, and are mixed together in the exact strength and dosage form required by the patient. This method allows us to work with both the patient and the prescriber to customise a medication to meet the patient's specific needs.
Modern technology and innovative techniques and along with new research have enabled specially trained Pharmacists to customise medications to meet specific patient requirements. This has resulting in better and lasting outcomes for the patient, and often less side effects.
Gold Coast Compounding can make medication allergy-free by leaving out ingredients such as lactose, preservatives, dyes, gluten and sugar which are often found in mass-produced medicines.
We can also make medications easier to use by flavouring with natural flavours to make unpleasant tasting medications more palatable for young children, the elderly or even pets, without compromising the medicationâ??s effectiveness.
In some cases, patients may need their medication in different dosage forms, e.g. patients who have difficulty swallowing a tablet may find it easier to take their medication in a pleasantly flavoured liquid form. Some medications can even be compounded into a topical form such as a cream or a gel that allows the medication to be absorbed into the bloodstream through the skin.
If you have any issues with medication you should be aware that there are alternatives available including Natural Bio-Identical Plant Based Hormone Restoration, as well as many other personalised natural therapies.
