What is Compounding?

At Castle Mall Pharmacy in Castle Hill, NSW, our practiced pharmacists specialise in medicinal compounding.

Compounding is the process of making a specific medicine from scratch by mixing required ingredients as approved by your doctor.

As one medicine does not fit all, our experienced compounding pharmacists can customise any form of medications to satisfy your individual requirements. Most compounding medications are freshly made onsite in our advanced, equipped laboratory, and you can collect your compounding medicines within a day of your order.

Why Are Compounding Medicines Required?

• For Anti-Inflammatory Cream, Ointment or Mouthwash that Requires a Specific Dosage for Your Personal Conditions

• For Children Who Want Flavoured Additives in Liquid Drugs, Usually so that the Medication Tastes like Candy or Fruit

• For Many Types of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapies, for Both Men and Women

• For Patients Facing a Supply Shortage of Their Normal Drug
