Compounding
Compounding Pharmacy in Stoney Creek
Custom-made medications when a standard dose isn't the right fit.
Lakeside Health Pharmacy is a compounding pharmacy in Stoney Creek serving patients across Hamilton, Burlington, and the surrounding area. When a commercial medication isn't available in the strength, form, or flavour you need, we prepare it to your prescriber's exact specifications, whether that's a liquid version of a tablet-only drug, an allergen-free formulation, or a topical cream instead of a pill.
We can prepare most compounded medications. Because every prescription is different, we ask that you contact us first so a pharmacist can confirm we can make yours, talk through the dosage form, and give you a realistic timeline before anything is prepared.
Compounding is common for children who can't swallow pills, patients who react to dyes or fillers in commercial products, and anyone whose prescriber has ordered a specific strength or combination that isn't sold ready-made.
We're happy to work with your prescriber directly so the paperwork is handled for you, and we serve patients across Ontario and Canada. Ask us about free local delivery.

Frequently asked questions
What can you compound?
We can prepare most compounded medications. Because every prescription is different, please contact us before your visit. Tell us the medication, strength, and form your prescriber has ordered, and a pharmacist will confirm whether we can make it.
Do I need a prescription for a compounded medication?
Compounded medications are prepared for you specifically, based on a prescription from your prescriber. If you're not sure whether compounding could help, ask your prescriber or call us to talk it through.
Can you change the flavour or form of my medication?
Often, yes. Changing the flavour, or switching to a liquid, cream, or other form, are common reasons patients come to a compounding pharmacy. Contact us with your medication and a pharmacist will confirm what's possible.
How long does a compounded medication take?
It depends on the medication and the ingredients involved. Contact us and a pharmacist will give you a realistic timeline once they've reviewed your prescription.
Do you compound for patients outside Stoney Creek?
Yes. We prepare compounds for patients across Ontario and Canada. Call 289-649-0005 and we'll talk through how to get yours to you.
