    • Customised dosage forms
    • Flavoured suspensions
    • Oral suspensions, liquids and pastes
    • Chewable medicated treats (for veterinary use)
    • Sugar-free formulations
    • Topical creams, ointments, and lotions

Custom compounded capsules for medications not commercially available

Medications no longer commercially available

Occasionally, certain medications may be unavailable across Australia due to factors such as ingredient shortages, limited commercial production, or regulatory withdrawal for safety reasons. While we do not compound medications that are deemed unsafe, our pharmacists can prepare formulations for medications that are temporarily unavailable or discontinued for commercial reasons. This ensures continuity of your treatment, allowing you to maintain your prescribed doses while upholding our professional duty of care. By providing these compounded alternatives, we help protect your health and support effective management of your medical needs.

Medications for Children

Medications for children can often present unique challenges. Standard commercially available products may not always be suitable due to factors such as taste preferences, allergies, ingredient sensitivities, or reduced effectiveness in certain cases. Our compounding pharmacists can customise medications to meet these individual needs, including adjusting ingredients or creating child-friendly formulations that are easier for infants and children to take. We provide compounded therapies for a range of paediatric conditions, including:

  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Eczema
  • Reflux
  • Sleep disturbances

By tailoring each preparation, we aim to improve both the safety and effectiveness of treatment, ensuring children receive the care they need in a form that works for them.

You can upload your prescription online for paediatric compounding.

Our compounding pharmacists provide customised solutions that allow patients to maintain their medications safely while maximising comfort, supporting dignity, and enhancing quality of life during this important stage of care.
