What is Compounding?
Compounding pharmacies prepare personalised medicines tailored to the needs of individual patients when commercially available medicines may not be suitable.
Personalised medicines prepared by pharmacists
Compounding is the preparation of personalised medicines by pharmacists based on a prescription provided by a healthcare practitioner.
Unlike standard medicines that are manufactured in fixed strengths and dosage forms, compounded medicines can be tailored to the specific needs of an individual patient.
Compounding may involve adjusting the strength of a medicine, preparing it in a different formulation, or combining ingredients to support a patient’s treatment plan.
Central Labs provides a range of services including Opthalmic Compounding, Injectable Compounding, and Veterinary Compounding.
