Custom Compounded Medications in Nepean, Ottawa

Pharmaceutical compounding is the art and science of creating personalized medications. At Longfields Pharmacy, our skilled compounding pharmacists craft custom medications that aren't commercially available or that need to be modified to suit your individual health requirements.

Whether you need a medication in a different strength, a child-friendly flavor, an allergen-free formulation, or a unique delivery form — our compounding service in Nepean provides solutions that make treatment more effective and more tolerable. We also specialize in sublingual erectile dysfunction medications, compounding sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis) tablets that dissolve under the tongue and take effect in approximately 15 minutes — a service not widely available at other pharmacies.

We work closely with physicians and patients to develop precise compounding formulas. Each compounded medication is prepared with pharmaceutical-grade ingredients, rigorously checked for accuracy, and dispensed with complete transparency about what you're taking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't find the answer you're looking for? Call us at 613-440-9199.

What types of conditions benefit from compounded medications?

Compounding is valuable for many situations including: pediatric patients requiring lower doses or palatable flavors, patients with allergies to commercial medication ingredients, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) needing individualized dosing, veterinary compounding for pets, dermatological conditions requiring topical preparations, and patients who have difficulty swallowing standard tablets or capsules.

Do I need a prescription for compounded medications?

Yes. Compounded medications require a valid prescription from a licensed healthcare provider (physician, nurse practitioner, or dentist). The prescription should specify the ingredients, strength, dosage form, and directions. If you're unsure, have your doctor contact us and we'll work with them directly.

Is compounding covered by my drug insurance?

Coverage varies by insurance plan. Some plans do cover compounded medications when a physician prescribes them and commercial alternatives are unavailable or inappropriate. We recommend calling your insurance provider before we begin. We'll provide all necessary documentation for your claim.

How long does it take to prepare a compounded medication?

Most compounded preparations take 24–48 hours. Some simpler preparations may be ready the same day, while more complex formulations may take longer. When your physician submits the prescription, we'll give you an accurate timeline and contact you when it's ready.

Are compounded medications safe?

Safety is our highest priority in compounding. We use pharmaceutical-grade ingredients, follow established compounding protocols, and our pharmacists are trained in sterile and non-sterile compounding techniques. All preparations are thoroughly checked for accuracy and labeled with complete information.

Do you compound Viagra or Cialis at your pharmacy?

Yes. We compound sublingual sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis) tablets in-house at Longfields Pharmacy. Unlike standard oral tablets, our sublingual formulations dissolve under the tongue and become effective in approximately 15 minutes — significantly faster than conventional pills. A valid prescription from your doctor is required. The consultation and dispensing process is completely confidential.

Can you compound medications for pets in Ottawa?

Yes! Veterinary compounding is a specialty we offer. We can formulate medications in flavors your pet will accept (chicken, beef, fish, etc.), in the exact dose appropriate for their weight, and in forms that are easier to administer. A valid veterinary prescription is required.
