A Compounding Centre for Customized Medication Solutions
Compounding allows a practitioner to prescribe and a pharmacist to prepare a customized medication that is not available commercially, or to place an available medication in a different dosage form to meet a specific patient's need and to improve patient's compliance. Medications can be compounded into dosage forms that are most appropriate to treat each patient. Desired active ingredient(s) can be compounded into creams, ointments and gels for topical or transdermal administration. In order for medications to be absorbed transdermally, it is critical that an appropriate base and proper compounding technique be used. Compared to oral administration, less active ingredient may be required when a medication is applied topically and the risk of systemic side effects can be minimized. Topical administration is one of the many dosage forms we can compound.

- Medicated Lozenges
