Anyone! Children and the elderly often benefit the most from compounded medications. Anyone with allergies, intolerances, disabilities or dietary restrictions are good candidates as well. Pets and farm animals also frequently require compounded medications.

A compounding pharmacist can work closely with your physicians to help with the following:
-adjust strength of medications for required dosages that differ from the standard drug strengths
- avoid unwanted ingredients such as dyes, preservatives, lactose, gluten or sugar
- add flavour to make medication more palatable
- prepare unique delivery systems such as, topical gels or creams, suppositories, sublingual troches, liquid preparations, nasal sprays or even lollipops.

Most insurance companies do cover compounded medications, they differ from person to person depending on coverage. We will contact your insurance company directly to see exactly what is covered and what is not. Then we can work closely with your physician to get you the best covered compounded medication. This is where we differ from most compounding pharmacies, we will do online billing with private insurance companies. Most pharmacies will make you pay upfront and submit to insurance yourself.

For those patients over the age of 65, on social assistance or disability the Ontario government does not cover certain compounded medications. There is a standard preparation formulary that ODB makes no exception from, we would contact them to check coverage and would inform you before the medication is ever made. If a prescription is not covered it can still be claimed on income tax as a medical expense.
