Wassim Chaar
Prepares and verifies formulations at the bench, and takes the prescriber calls where the dose has to be worked out rather than looked up.
We do not just
hand you the box. We make what is in it.
Most pharmacies dispense what a factory already decided. When the dose does not exist, when the excipient is the thing your body refuses, when the strength was discontinued — the preparation has to be made. We make it here, on the premises.

The person who prepares it is a person you can name
This is the whole difference. A chain sends the preparation somewhere else, to someone you will never meet. Here, the two people who compound are the two people behind the counter.

Prepares and verifies formulations at the bench, and keeps the batch records that make a repeat preparation identical to the first one.

What the bench prepares
The preparations manufactured stock does not cover. Bring the prescription; if it can be compounded, it is compounded here.
Dose
Paediatric and fractional strengths
When the strength your prescriber wrote sits between two manufactured tablets, the preparation is made at the strength written, not the nearest one.
as writtenExcipient
Allergen and excipient exclusions
Lactose, gluten, a dye, a preservative — when the excipient is the thing your body refuses, the formulation is prepared without it.
0 mgSupply
Discontinued formulations
A medicine withdrawn from manufacture is not a medicine that stopped working. Where the active ingredient is available, it is prepared again.

Alternate delivery forms
A capsule that has to become a suspension, a tablet that has to become a topical. The form changes; the dose does not.
