When the standard bottle is not quite right, wrong strength, wrong flavour, hidden allergen, or a form your child or pet simply will not accept, we formulate it in-house. Precisely. Patiently. Every time.
Compounding is the craft of creating a personalized medication from individual pharmaceutical ingredients, tailored to exactly what a patient needs. It is how pharmacy was done before mass manufacturing, and it is still indispensable when a commercial product simply does not exist or does not suit.
Perhaps your toddler's antibiotic only comes in a flavour she refuses. Perhaps your topical cream contains a dye that breaks you out. Perhaps your cat or dog needs a dose of medication that is not commercially available. Each of them lives solidly in our wheelhouse.
Ryan's is one of a handful of NAPRA compliant pharmacies providing custom compounding. One of the few pharmacies providing compounding services and one of the few pharmacies that are accredited through the Professional Compounding Centers of America (PCCA) in Houston, the gold standard for compounding education in North America. That network gives us access to more than ten thousand vetted raw ingredients, proprietary formulations, and ongoing clinical support from some of the most experienced compounders in the world.
When changes were made to the compounding regulations, many pharmacies decided not to continue with compounding. Here at Ryan's Pharmacy we embraced the changes, and have been providing custom compounding since.
If a pharmacy tells you compounding is a simple swap of one ingredient for another, keep looking. It is genuinely clinical work, and we treat it that way.
Ask your prescriber to write for the formulation you need, or phone us to discuss whether compounding might help with a concern you have been wrestling with. Consultations usually reveal whether we can help in under ten minutes.
