For some patients, it’s not the active ingredient that causes side effects — it’s the additives.

Colours, preservatives, and flavouring agents can trigger unwanted responses in individuals with allergies, intolerances, or sensitivities. That’s why healthcare professionals may request custom-prepared medications made without certain excipients.

By removing non-essential components, the focus stays on the treatment, not the fillers.

📘 Always speak with your provider about any sensitivities you have to dyes, sweeteners, or preservatives.

Ever wonder why some medications aren’t available in ready-made forms?

Certain ingredients have limited shelf lives, lose stability over time, or simply aren't manufactured in specific strengths or forms. In these cases, healthcare professionals may request medications to be freshly prepared in a pharmacy, based on individual needs.

It’s not about creating something new—it’s about preparing what’s already understood, but not readily available.

Custom preparation supports:
• Shorter stability items
• Specific ingredient combinations
• Forms not made commercially

🧾 Speak to your healthcare provider if you're unsure whether this approach may apply to your current treatment.

Feeling connected is more than just a social need—it’s vital to our health.

Loneliness Awareness Week is a reminder that isolation can affect anyone, regardless of age or circumstance. And it’s not always about being alone, it’s about feeling unseen.

✔️ Check in with a friend who’s gone quiet
✔️ Start a conversation that goes beyond “how are you?”
✔️ Join or create a space where others feel safe to connect

A simple act of kindness might be exactly what someone needs today.

National Stroke Week is a timely reminder of how important it is to act fast when it comes to brain health. The longer a stroke remains untreated, the greater the chance of stroke-related brain damage

Strokes don’t just affect movement—they can change speech, swallowing, memory, and daily function.

A stroke is always a medical emergency.

The Stroke Foundation recommends the F.A.S.T. test as an easy way to remember the most common signs of stroke. Using the F.A.S.T. test involves asking these simple questions:

𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗲: Check their face. Has their mouth drooped?
𝗔𝗿𝗺𝘀: Can they lift both arms?
𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗰𝗵: Is their speech slurred? Do they understand you?
𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗜𝘀 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹. If you see any of these signs call 000 straight away.

At Vet Dispensary, we help vets develop species-specific formulations for birds, reptiles, small mammals, and other non-traditional pets.

Whether it’s adjusting concentrations, modifying flavours, or exploring alternative delivery forms, we’re here to support care for all animals, one prescription at a time.

Managing chronic conditions in pets, like arthritis, heart disease, or epilepsy, requires consistency and flexibility.

At Vet Dispensary, we work with veterinarians to compound medications that suit long-term use. That could mean adjusting flavours, modifying strengths, or combining active ingredients to reduce dosing complexity.

For pets on lifelong treatment plans, making medications easier to administer can make all the difference in compliance and quality of life.

There are many reasons why alternative dosage forms may be needed.

That’s where compounding steps in.

At Green Dispensary and Vet Dispensary, we work with prescribers and veterinarians to prepare medications in formats that suit the patient.

👉 Healthcare providers and vets: Upload your prescription today at https://greendispensarycompounding.com/ or https://vetdispensary.com.au/ and let’s tailor the delivery method to suit your patient.

Pets come in all shapes, sizes, and metabolisms—yet most commercial medications only come in standard strengths.

Whether it’s a small dog, a senior cat, or a bird with micro-dosing needs, vets sometimes require custom-compounded doses to match the animal's weight and condition.

At Vet Dispensary, we work closely with veterinarians to compound medications in the exact strength needed—nothing more, nothing less.

👉 Vets: Upload your prescription at https://vetdispensary.com.au/upload-prescription/ and let’s tailor the dose to your patient.

16/07/2025

Why Standard Medication Strengths Don’t Suit Everyone? Standard medication strengths aren’t designed for every patient.

Whether it’s paediatrics, geriatrics, or people with specific metabolic needs, prescribers may turn to compounding pharmacies to customise doses and concentrations for a better fit and flexibility.

👉 Not sure if your dosing needs adjustment? Have a conversation with your doctor or pharmacist.

Just like humans, animals can react to fillers, dyes, and preservatives in medications.

Compounded veterinary formulations allow vets to remove common allergens and customise active ingredient concentrations to suit:
• Sensitive stomachs
• Skin allergies
• Breed-specific intolerances

Whether it's a cat that can't tolerate alcohol-based suspensions or a dog with dye sensitivities, compounding helps prevent flare-ups while still delivering results.

⚖️ Safety, simplicity, and personalisation — down to the molecule.

24/06/2025

When a commonly prescribed medication becomes unavailable, care shouldn't have to pause.

Compounding pharmacies can recreate certain medicines that are temporarily out of stock, helping patients stay on track with their treatment plans.

This includes:
• Reformulating medicines no longer available in a required strength or format
• Supporting continuity of care, especially for chronic or high-risk conditions

We work closely with prescribers to fill the gap responsibly, compliantly, and always with patient safety front and centre.

23/06/2025

Managing chronic illness in pets, like arthritis, IBD, or epilepsy, isn’t just about the right drug. It’s about delivering it in a way that works long-term.

Compounded medications can:
• Be flavoured or reformulated for picky eaters
• Offer slow-release options for steady symptom control
• Combine multiple medications to reduce dosing stress

For pets on lifelong treatment, a tailored formulation can mean better compliance, lower stress, and more stable outcomes.

💬 Talk to your vet about how compounding can support chronic care.
