👀 Think you know what compounding is? Let’s clear up the confusion and uncover a few things that might surprise you.

🧪 Compounding is the historical, science-based practice of medicines preparation.
💊 It is used in hospitals, aged care, paediatrics, and veterinary medicine
🚫 It is not related to alternative medicine or supplements
🔬 It is fully regulated under Australian law
✅ It meets a need when mass-produced medicines aren't suited for a patient

⚠️ Not all tablets are safe to split. Even if they have a line down the middle.

Some medications are modified-release or coated to protect your stomach. Splitting them could change how they’re absorbed, or even cause harm.

Healthcare professionals may request a custom-made lower strength instead, ensuring the patient receives the correct dose in a safe format.

📘 Always check with your pharmacist before altering medication.

👉 Need a different strength or format? Speak to your provider and visit https://greendispensarycompounding.com/ to learn more.

Children and older adults are especially prone to refusing medication due to taste or texture.

When that becomes a barrier to care, prescribers may request modified preparations, such as flavour-masked liquids or alternate formats that make treatment easier to accept.

Taste shouldn’t be the reason someone avoids important treatment. Customisation helps improve adherence, comfort, and consistency.

🧾 For tailored formats, speak with your healthcare provider and ask about custom compounding.

Manufacturing delays, product discontinuations, or global shortages can sometimes leave patients without access to important medications.

In these cases, healthcare providers may request a medication to be specially prepared, following current guidelines and best-practice standards.

It’s not about reinventing the wheel; it’s about supporting continuity of care when ready-made options fall short.

🧾 Prescribers can reach out directly to discuss alternative preparation options during shortage periods.

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.

12/08/2025

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.
