What Is Compounding?
Pharmaceutical compounding is the process of creating custom medications tailored to an individual patient's needs. When a commercially available medication doesn't come in the right dose, form, or formulation — or when a patient is allergic to a standard excipient — compounding provides a personalized solution that can better fit their unique health requirements.
At Peel Best Pharmacy, all compounding is fulfilled by our partner, Central Fill Compounding Services — a licensed compounding pharmacy that follows strict quality-assurance and sterility protocols. You place your order through us, and we coordinate everything: prescription verification, formulation, and delivery or in-store pickup, keeping the process simple and consistent for you.
Certain patients often benefit most from compounded medications. Individuals with allergies or sensitivities to standard fillers, dyes, or preservatives can receive formulations without these ingredients. Children may need flavored liquids, smaller doses, or easier-to-use dosage forms that are not available in mass-produced products. Many patients using bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) also benefit from customized hormone formulations tailored to their specific regimen and tolerance.
If you are considering a compounded medication at Peel Best Pharmacy, begin by speaking with your prescriber to confirm the appropriate formulation and strength. Once your prescriber sends the prescription, our team reviews it and coordinates with Central Fill to prepare your medication. Most compounded prescriptions are ready within a few business days, with options for pickup at our Mississauga pharmacy or free local delivery, depending on the product and your preferences.
Types of Compounded Medications
Custom formulations for a wide range of conditions and patient needs.
Hormone Therapy (BHRT)
Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy — custom estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA formulations in creams, capsules, or troches. Dosing tailored to your lab results and symptoms.
Pediatric Compounding
Medications reformulated into flavoured liquids, suspensions, or lollipops for children who cannot swallow pills. Custom doses for infants and toddlers when commercial formulations are unavailable.
Topical Compounds
Custom creams, ointments, and gels — pain-relief compounds, scar-reduction formulations, dermatological treatments, and wound-care preparations with combined active ingredients.
GLP-1 Compounding (Semaglutide)
Compounded semaglutide injections for weight management — prepared by Central Fill Compounding Services under a valid prescription. An option when brand-name Ozempic or Wegovy supply is limited.
Veterinary Compounding
Custom medications for pets — flavoured liquids, transdermal gels, and custom-dose formulations for cats, dogs, and other animals when commercial options are unavailable or impractical.
Allergen-Free Formulations
Medications compounded without common allergens — gluten-free, dye-free, lactose-free, or preservative-free formulations for patients with sensitivities to standard excipients.

When Patients Come to Us About Compounding
Most patients who ask about compounding arrive with a specific problem their current medication isn't solving. Here are the situations we hear most often.
-
Allergy or sensitivity to a filler, dye, or preservative
Standard commercial medications contain excipients — binders, colouring agents, lactose, gluten, or preservatives — that have nothing to do with the active drug. Patients who react to these can often get the same medication compounded without the offending ingredient.
-
Child who cannot swallow a tablet or capsule
Many medications are only manufactured as pills in adult doses. A compounding pharmacist can reformulate the medication as a flavoured liquid or suspension at the correct pediatric strength — something the child can actually take.
-
Dose or strength not available commercially
Prescribers sometimes need a dose that falls between what manufacturers offer. Compounding allows for precise dose titration — particularly relevant for thyroid medications, low-dose naltrexone, and certain dermatological preparations.
-
Hormone therapy that needs to be customized
Patients using bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) often require specific combinations or strengths of estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone that are not available as a single commercial product. Compounding allows the formulation to be matched to lab results and symptoms rather than a one-size-fits-all dose.
-
Difficulty swallowing pills (dysphagia)
Patients with swallowing difficulties — whether from a neurological condition, post-surgical recovery, or age-related changes — can often have their medications reformulated as a liquid, a transdermal gel, or a sublingual troche.
-
Medication discontinued or in short supply
When a commercial product is discontinued or facing a supply shortage, compounding may allow continued access to the active ingredient under a valid prescription. This has come up frequently with certain hormone products and, more recently, GLP-1 medications.
If any of these situations sound familiar, call us at (905) 712-0003 — our pharmacists can tell you whether compounding is a realistic option for your prescription and help coordinate with your prescriber.
