Gardens Compounding Pharmacy

03/03/2026

Not every health need can be met with an off the shelf product.

That is where compounding comes in.

At Gardens Compounding, we prepare customised medications for patients who need something different.

This can include:
🔹Discontinued medications
🔹Children’s formulations
🔹Veterinary medicines
🔹Personalised hormone therapy
🔹Nutraceutical preparations
🔹Allergy friendly options

Compounding allows us to tailor strength, dosage form and ingredients to suit the individual.

It means one pharmacy for the whole family, including pets.

If you or your healthcare provider are struggling to find the right solution, speak with our compounding team. There is often another option available.

Did You Know Your Pharmacist Can Help With More Than Prescriptions?

Many people are surprised to learn how much support is available at their local pharmacy.

You do not always need to wait for a GP appointment to get advice.

Pharmacists are trained health professionals who can assess, guide and support you with preventive care and self management.

If you are unsure whether we can help, ask us. That conversation might save you time and give you clarity sooner.

From Wednesday 18th February, our dispensary is moving to a different location as we shift from Stage 1 to Stage 2 of our refurbishment.

What does this mean for you?

We are still open.
We are still dispensing prescriptions.
Our team is still here to help.

You may notice a few changes to the layout while you are in store, and we appreciate your patience as we continue building something better for our community.

We cannot wait to show you what is coming next.

What is Compounding in Pharmacy? 💊

Not all medicines are one-size-fits-all — and that’s where compounding comes in.

Pharmacy compounding is the art and science of creating personalised medications made specifically for you. Instead of a standard, mass-produced medicine, a compounding technician prepares a medication to suit your unique needs.

✨ Compounding may be used when:
• A different dose is needed
• A medicine is unavailable or discontinued
• You’re sensitive to certain ingredients
• A medication needs to be a liquid, cream, or another form
• Children, older adults, or pets need tailored options

From creams and capsules to liquids and lozenges, compounded medicines are carefully prepared to support comfort, safety, and better treatment outcomes.

💙 The goal? Medication that works with you — not against you.

Have questions about compounding? Our pharmacy team is always happy to help.
