The Benefits of Compounding:

• Changing the dosage form  
• If the patient cannot swallow a tablet or capsule, we can compound his/her medication into a liquid suspension or lozenge/troches

• Changing the strength of existing formulations
• If a much lower dosage strength is required for paediatric or pet dosing

• Formulate without unwanted additives, fillers, dyes or active ingredients
• If the patient cannot tolerate his/her medication due to dyes or fillers (such as lactose or corn byproducts)

• Providing commercially unavailable medications
• If the medication is discontinued or unavailable by a manufacturer

At Strathcona Compounding Ltd., we can compound a wide range of medications: bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, veterinary medications, pain management creams or gels, dental preparations, sterile preparations (injections, ophthalmic drops).

Call us today to find out if we can compound a customized preparation for your patient.
