Pain management
Topical pain creams and gels that put the medication right where it hurts, often with fewer side effects than pills. Helpful when standard treatments aren’t controlling pain.

What we compound
Dermatology
Custom creams, ointments and solutions combining the ingredients your dermatologist prescribes, at the exact strength and base your skin needs.
Low-dose atropine eye drops
Prescribed to help slow myopia (nearsightedness) in children. We prepare low-dose atropine to your eye doctor’s prescription.
Pediatrics
Liquids instead of tablets, the right dose for your child’s weight, and flavours they’ll actually take. We can’t make them eat broccoli, but we can help with this.

Compounding questions
What is compounding?
Compounding means a pharmacist prepares a medication specifically for you, by changing the strength, the form (for example a liquid instead of a pill), or removing an ingredient you react to. It’s how all medications were made before mass production, and it’s still essential when a commercial product doesn’t fit your needs.
Do I need a prescription for a compounded medication?
Yes. Compounded prescription medications need a prescription from your doctor, nurse practitioner, dentist or other prescriber. If you’re not sure whether compounding is an option, ask us and we can talk to your prescriber.
Is compounding covered by insurance?
Many private drug plans cover compounded medications, and we bill them directly so you don’t have to submit a claim yourself. Coverage depends on your plan and the ingredients, so text or call us and we’ll check before we prepare it.
How long does a compound take?
Many compounds are ready the same day or the next business day. Some need special ingredients ordered in. We’ll give you a time when you drop off the prescription, and we can deliver it free when it’s ready. Refrigerated compounds are pickup only.
Can my doctor send the prescription directly to you?
Yes. Your prescriber can fax it to 905-568-4988 or call us at 905-568-1900. You can also send us a photo of a paper prescription.
