What is a compounded medication?

A compounded medication is a drug tailored by a licensed pharmacist to meet the specific needs of an individual patient. This involves mixing, altering, or combining ingredients to create a specific strength, dosage form, or formula that is not commercially available from a manufacturer.

Why would I need a compounded medication?

Compounding is necessary when a patient cannot be treated with a standard commercial drug. Common reasons include: needing a dosage or strength that is not manufactured; having an allergy or sensitivity to common inactive ingredients (like dyes, preservatives, or gluten); requiring a different dosage form (e.g., a liquid, cream, or suppository instead of a pill); or needing a medication that has been discontinued or is currently in shortage.

Are compounded medications approved by Health Canada?

The final compounded product is not approved by Health Canada in the same way mass-produced drugs are, as it is a custom preparation for an individual patient. However, compounding pharmacies must adhere to strict guidelines and quality standards set by professional organizations and regulatory bodies, such as the National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities (NAPRA) in Canada, ensuring the safety and quality of the preparation.

What forms of medication can be compounded?

A wide variety of personalized dosage forms can be compounded, including capsules, oral liquids (suspensions or solutions), creams, gels, ointments, lozenges, suppositories, and transdermal preparations. Medications can often be flavored to improve palatability for children or pets.

Do I need a prescription for a compounded medication?

Yes, nearly all compounded medications require a valid, patient-specific prescription from a licensed healthcare provider (such as a physician or nurse practitioner) who specifies the exact formulation and dosage required.
