Compounding Pharmacy Ottawa
Sometimes the right medication for your health isn’t what’s on the pharmacy shelf. Whether it’s adjusting dosages, removing allergens, or creating a medication that doesn’t exist commercially, NutriChem’s state-of-the-art compounding pharmacy delivers solutions as unique as you are.
How Does Pharmacy Compounding Optimize Medical Treatment ?Â
Pharmacy compounding is the art and science of creating customized medications to meet a patient’s individual needs. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, we work with your healthcare provider to prepare prescriptions in the exact dose, strength, and form that’s right for you. Our pharmacists can:
- Create the medication in another form, such as liquid, cream, or capsules
- Remove ingredients and allergens such as gluten, dyes, or preservatives
- Combine multiple medications into a single convenient dose
This level of customization makes compounding ideal for patients of all ages and health needs.
Conditions Benefiting from Specialty Compounding
Some common health conditions which benefit the most from compounding are:
- Hormonal imbalances: Menopause or thyroid issues
- Mental health support: Anxiety and depression
- Pediatric and geriatric care for specialized dosing needs
- Digestive health concerns, offering gut microbiome support
- Chronic pain and inflammation
- Dermatological conditions
- Eye Conditions
