As a healthcare provider, you frequently encounter patients who fall outside the “standard” commercial medication profile. Whether it’s a pediatric patient refusing a bitter pill, a geriatric patient with dysphagia, or a chronic pain case requiring localized treatment to avoid systemic side effects, the gap between commercial availability and patient need is a common clinical hurdle.
At Whole Health Compounding Pharmacy Glebe, we act as an extension of your practice. We provide the specialized pharmaceutical expertise needed to bridge these gaps through high-quality, NAPRA-compliant non-sterile compounding.
1. Clinical Solutions for Your Toughest Cases
HCPs in the Glebe and across Ottawa partner with us to solve specific therapeutic challenges:
- Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT): Precise, individualized dosing in transdermal creams or rapid-dissolve tablets.
- Dermatological Customization: Tailored concentrations of active ingredients (e.g., Hydroquinone, Tretinoin, Kojic Acid) in hypoallergenic bases.
- Pain Management: Topical “Pain Creams” combining multiple mechanisms of action (e.g., Ketoprofen, Gabapentin, Lidocaine) to reduce opioid reliance.
- Pediatric & Veterinary Support: Flavoured suspensions and chewables that improve compliance for your smallest (and furriest) patients.
2. Built on a Foundation of Safety (OCP & NAPRA)
We understand that your reputation is on the line with every referral. Our lab operates under strict Ontario College of Pharmacists (OCP) accreditation (#306266) and adheres to the NAPRA Model Standards for Pharmacy Compounding.
- Quality Ingredients: We source only high-grade APIs (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients) from Health Canada-registered suppliers.
- Rigorous SOPs: Our compounding pharmacists follow standardized Master Formulation Records to ensure batch-to-batch consistency.
