Compounding

At Grimsby Pharmacy, we understand that sometimes the standard prescription just doesn’t cut it. Maybe you need a dose that’s too small, or too big, or perhaps you can’t take tablets because of allergies or difficulty swallowing. That’s where our compounding service steps in.

Compounding means crafting medications specifically to your needs. Our pharmacists mix, adjust, or tailor ingredients, whether that’s swapping a pill for a liquid, removing potential allergens, or combining several medications into a single cream. It’s all about making treatment work for you, not forcing you into a one‑size‑fits‑all.

We operate with your safety and peace of mind as our top priority. We adhere to Canadian standards. Drawing on Health Canada policy and provincial guidelines like NAPRA’s model standards, for quality, safety, and proper documentation. That means clear records, well‑trained staff, and attention to sterility when needed. We assess each preparation’s risk level and match it with the right facility, equipment, and procedure.

This service is especially helpful if you have allergies, your dose needs fine‑tuning, or you find swallowing tablets difficult. It’s also handy during medication shortages. Whatever your situation, we work hand in hand with your prescriber to create a custom solution that fits your life. Compounded medications aren’t factory‑made, so while they can’t carry the same approvals as mass‑produced drugs, they offer a personal touch and fill gaps where regular options fall short.

At Grimsby Pharmacy, compounding isn’t just a service, it’s a chance for us to partner with you on your wellness journey, one carefully mixed prescription at a time.
