Common Questions About Our Compounding Process
We address the most frequent inquiries to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of how our personalized medications are thoughtfully crafted to fit your unique health needs.
By delving into these common questions, we aim to clarify the intricate process that goes into tailoring treatments specifically for you, ensuring that you receive the best possible care and support for your individual health circumstances.
What is medication compounding?
Medication compounding entails the creation of tailored prescriptions through the combination, mixing, or modification of ingredients to fulfill specific patient needs that conventional medications may not adequately address.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has established stringent regulations regarding the circumstances and methods under which medications can be compounded.
How do you ensure the safety and quality of compounded medications?
Our compounding process adheres to strict protocols designed to ensure the highest standards of quality and safety.
We utilize only premium-grade ingredients and employ precise measurements to create our formulations.
Furthermore, we implement thorough quality checks at every stage of the process, from initial ingredient selection to the final product, ensuring that each compound meets our rigorous safety and effectiveness standards.
This meticulous attention to detail is what sets our compounding apart and gives our clients peace of mind.
Can I get a medication compounded if I have allergies or sensitivities?
Yes, in certain circumstances.
We customize formulations to eliminate allergens or irritants, offering alternatives that align with your sensitivities while preserving their therapeutic advantages.
You will need to speak with the Pharmacist about your allergies or sensitivities, who will perform a risk assessment to determine if we can compound your medication. It may be necessary for you to consult your Healthcare provider for further discussion or to amend your prescription.
How long does it take to prepare a compounded medication?
Preparation times can differ based on the intricacy of the prescription; however, we aim to complete the majority of compounded medications within 48 hours (often sooner) to provide prompt access.
Our team will reach out to you via call, text, or email once your medication is ready for pickup.
