What does a compounding pharmacy do?
Pharmacy compounding is the preparation of a medication in a customized strength, dosage form, flavour, or ingredient combination. A compounded medication may be considered when a commercially available product does not meet a patient's clinical or practical needs.
At Sirocco Pharmacy, our team provides prescription compounding in Calgary for people and pets, working with the prescriber to prepare each medication according to the prescription.
