Personalized Medications Designed Around You
At Gilmore Pharmacy in Burnaby, we provide professional compounding services to create medications tailored specifically to your individual health needs. When commercially available medications do not offer the right dosage, formulation, or ingredient profile, our pharmacists can prepare customized solutions based on your healthcare provider’s prescription.
Compounding allows us to adjust strength, remove allergens, change dosage forms, or combine certain medications when appropriate. Our goal is to improve comfort, accuracy, and treatment outcomes, helping patients receive medications that truly fit their needs.
What Is Compounding?
Compounding is the preparation of customized medications made specifically for an individual patient. Unlike mass-produced medications, compounded prescriptions are carefully formulated in precise strengths and dosage forms to match a patient’s medical requirements. This is especially helpful when standard medications are unavailable, discontinued, or unsuitable.
