Compounding

One of our specialties is making unique medications to suit the needs of each individual patient. Manufactures make medication based on quantity and the premise that it will work for the majority of people. At Village Pharmacy we strive to create safe and effective alternatives for those patients that require a more specialized product. Some the alternatives that we can offer include what you see on this page, below. All orders placed at Village Pharmacy are filled at our sister-store, Mapleton Pharmacy.

If you have any questions about any of the topics please do not hesitate to contact us. At Village Pharmacy we strive to deliver not only the best medication but the best education.

Flavouring

Medications are never designed to taste good which can make it hard to encourage children to take it. The simple solution of adding/changing the flavour of the medication can make administering medication to children much more enjoyable. Some of the flavours we offer are: chocolate, cherry, bubblegum, mint, and many many more.

Creams & Gels

Some medications are simply not effective at treating the issue at its localized area or the doctor requires the medication in a unique form or strength not normally available. There are many cases where having the medication applied directly to the affected area can increase the effectiveness of the therapy. This can include items such as nipple ointments, anti-inflammatory creams, hormone creams, antifungal/antibiotic creams, and many more.

Liquids

Many people have difficulties with swallowing the large pills that are the normal method of medication delivery. Our staff can easily compound liquid alternatives for the majority of medications which can make the patients lives much easier. Again this can lead to increased patient compliance, an overall improvement of well being, and renewed independence.ere to edit.

Injections

There are specialized cases that require a more direct approach to ensure the best results of a therapy. Some medications are not absorbed very well through the digestive tract or through the skin, which leads to an injection. The most common injection in the general public is a Vitamin B12 injection but we can go beyond the common to the most effective. We can create vitamin complexes that can greatly benefit the patient struggling with vitamin deficiency. Also the majority of manufactured injection contain preservatives which some patients may have a sensitivity, we can make preservative-free injections to combat those sensitivities.

Capsules

Some people are allergic to the common fillers but still require the medication to live a normal life. For example, the most common filler is lactose which some peoples bodies have an intolerance. We can replace the filler to eliminate that unnecessary reaction and indirectly help to increase patient compliance and overall comfort. Furthermore, over the years some medication become discontinued by the manufacturer but this medication works the best for that individual. Most of the time we can bring in the raw chemical of that medication and compound custom capsule to replace the discontinued product.
