How much do you know about compounded medications? If you are relatively unfamiliar with them, you may not be aware of the many benefits of compounded medications that you can take advantage of. Here at Thornhill’s Pharmacy, we provide custom compounding services to our patients and help them get the best medications for their needs. If you are interested in finding out more about the benefits of compounded medications and whether they might be a good option for you, simply read on to learn more:

1. Formulated for You

While most commercially available drugs are designed to be one-size-fits-all and meet the needs of the average person, compounded medications are uniquely made to meet your specific needs. That means that we can adjust the strength of a medication and make a variety of other changes in order to create a medication that is best suited for you. Don’t settle for one-size-fits-all approaches to your unique health needs!

2. Custom Ingredients

Another of the main benefits of compounded medications is that we can adjust the ingredients as needed, ensuring that you receive the best possible medication for you. For instance, if a medication you need contains an ingredient to which you are allergic, our custom compounding services allow us to prepare it for you without that ingredient. We can also prepare medications without dyes if needed! Don’t let allergies or intolerances get between you and the medications you need when you come see us about our custom compounding services.

3. Variety of Dosage Forms

Sometimes the dosage form that a medication comes in may not be ideal for your individual needs. Other times you might be administering medication to your child or pet, and the standard dosage form is not always the easiest. This is another situation in which you can enjoy the benefits of compounded medications, as we can prepare medications in forms that are better suited to your needs. We can create ointments, creams, liquids, capsules, and more. And, of course, you can always check in with our pharmacy team in order to find out more about the types of dosage forms we can create for you through our custom compounding services.
