What is compounding?
• Compounding individualised medicines provides innovative patient care through the use of unique dosage forms, alternative therapies, and specialised education and equipment
• The ultimate goal in preparing customised medications is to help the physician and patient achieve a more positive therapeutic outcome. At CPSA (The Compounding Pharmacy of South Africa) we are dedica
ted to formulating individualized medicines designed especially for you by your healthcare practitioner. We have a strong clinical team comprising international specialists, doctors, as well as clinical and compounding pharmacists who provide expert advice. Side effects are less likely and therapeutic outcomes can be better if your prescriptions can be tailored to your specific needs. Your healthcare practitioner can more easily fine-tune or modify the dose or prescription as your needs change and match your preferences and absorption abilities. Compounded prescriptions can be customized to different formulations that may be easier to take or administer. For example, if a patient has difficulty swallowing pills, the compounding pharmacist may be able to formulate the medication as a cream or gel. Multiple prescriptions can be combined into a single dosage form for convenience and to ensure better compliance. Preservative-free or allergen-free prescriptions can be compounded for sensitive patients. Cutting-edge patient care - a first in SA.
