At Whole Health Compounding Pharmacy Glebe, our mission is to provide personalized care that meets the specific therapeutic needs of every patient. While many recognize us as their neighborhood pharmacy at 857 Bank Street, our specialized laboratory also serves as a critical resource for Ottawa’s professional sports community.
We are proud to maintain a collaborative relationship with professional organizations like Atlético Ottawa and the Ottawa Charge. By working closely with their team physicians and medical staff, we help ensure that these elite athletes have access to the customized pharmaceutical solutions required for high-performance recovery and injury management.
The Science of Personalized Recovery
Every athlete’s body responds differently to injury. When commercially available medications do not meet a patient’s specific requirements—due to dosage needs, ingredient sensitivities, or the need for a specific delivery method—compounding provides a professional alternative.
Our specialized services focus on:
- Customized Formulations: Preparing medications in specific strengths or formats as prescribed by a healthcare provider.
- Alternative Delivery Methods: Creating preparations that allow for localized application, which may be a preferred option for those seeking to avoid certain systemic side effects.
- Collaborative Care: Serving as the link between the physician’s diagnosis and the patient’s recovery through precise, individualized preparation.
Adhering to the Highest Professional Standards
At Whole Health, we operate under the NAPRA Model Standards for Pharmacy Compounding. These standards ensure that every preparation is made in a controlled environment with rigorous quality assurance. As an OCP-accredited pharmacy, we prioritize the safety and efficacy of our work above all else.
A Note on Medication Privacy and Compliance:
In accordance with the Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA) and OCP advertising regulations, we do not disclose specific patient treatments or advertise compounded preparations to the general public. Our role is to fulfill patient-specific prescriptions within a valid health-professional relationship. Whether you are a professional player at TD Place or a local runner training for a 5K, your medical history and treatments remain strictly confidential.
