At Bowmanville Clinic Pharmacy, we go beyond simple prescription filling. Our compounding staff create personalized medications designed to meet the unique requirements of every individual.
In the past, medications were not mass-produced. Pharmacists relied on compounding to formulate and blend personalized medications for each patient. However, as drug manufacturing expanded, this practice became less prevalent, and so did compounding pharmacies.
Today, personalized medical solutions have resurfaced as the solution to accurately address individual patient needs. Mainstream drug manufacturing may not always fulfill everyone’s medical requirements, leading to a demand for compounding pharmacists who can create customized prescriptions that are not available commercially.
Compounding encompasses various methods and techniques. It may involve altering the medication’s form, such as converting it from a tablet to a liquid or from a capsule to a cream. Alternatively, compounding pharmacists might use raw ingredients to create a specific combination or form that is tailored to a patient’s needs. Additionally, compounding can address cases where patients require unconventional dosages not available commercially.
Continuous advancements in techniques enable compounding pharmacists to better fulfill patients’ medical requirements. Patients often have more options available than they realize!
