A more limited form of compounding, generally involving straightforward creams and ointments rather than complex formulations. It’s suited to preparations that don’t require specialised equipment or extended preparation time.

It provides a convenient in-house option for simple topical preparations when a standard commercial product isn’t suitable.

This service may be suitable if you:

• Have a prescription for a simple cream or ointment not available commercially
• Need an existing topical preparation combined or adjusted in strength

• Requires a valid prescription.
• More complex formulations may need to be referred elsewhere — ask Samios Pharmacy whether your requirements can be prepared in-house.

Before Your Visit

Be prepared to discuss:

• Your prescription or clinical need
• Any allergies or intolerances to specific ingredients
• The strength or combination you require

During Your Visit

Your pharmacist will review your prescriber’s requirements and confirm whether your preparation can be made up in-house.

Do I need a prescription?

Yes.

What’s the difference between this and Custom Compounding?

Simple Compounding covers straightforward creams and ointments; more complex formulations are covered under Custom Compounding.

How long does it take?

This varies — Samios Pharmacy can give you a timeframe when you drop off your script.
