Why Choose a Compounding Pharmacy for Your Health Needs?
Personalized healthcare is becoming more important than ever. For residents and visitors to Plettenberg Bay and the Garden Route, a compounding pharmacy offers tailored solutions to meet unique medical needs safely and effectively.
What is Compounding?
Compounding is the science of preparing customized medications based on a doctor's prescription. This service is performed by qualified pharmacists and can involve altering dosage forms, flavoring, or creating medicines free from allergens.
Why Choose a Compounding Pharmacy?
- • Personalized Care: Compound medicine allows for tailored dosages and formulations that aren't available in standard commercial products
- • Allergy-Friendly Options: Remove unwanted ingredients such as dyes, gluten, or lactose for those with sensitivities
- • Special Populations: Ideal for children, seniors, or patients who require alternative forms like liquids, gels, or topical creams
- • Medication Shortages: When certain medicines are unavailable, compounding offers safe alternatives under medical guidance
Is Compounding Safe?
Yes—when performed by a qualified pharmacist in a regulated setting. At Whole Health & Wellness Lab, all compounding follows strict safety protocols, and medications are prepared according to a doctor's prescription.
When is Compounding Needed?
- • When a specific dose or form isn't commercially available
- • If a patient has allergies or sensitivities to standard medications
- • For unique IV therapies or wellness solutions offered at our RevIVe IV Bar
