At Helix Pharmacy, located in Stayner, Ontario, we are committed to providing our community with a comprehensive range of pharmaceutical services. Recognizing the critical need for sterile compounded medications, we have established a trusted partnership with a state-of-the-art, fully licensed and accredited central fill sterile compounding pharmacy.

What is Sterile Compounding?

Sterile compounding is the preparation of medications in an aseptic environment to eliminate the risk of contamination with harmful microorganisms. This is crucial for medications that are administered directly into the bloodstream, eyes, or other sterile body sites. Sterile compounded medications are essential for various treatments, including:

• Intravenous (IV) Medications: Including antibiotics and nutritional support.
• Ophthalmic Preparations: Certain eye drops and irrigations, especially for post-surgical use or specific eye conditions.
• Injectable Medications: For pain management, fertility treatments, and other therapies.
• Epidural and Intrathecal Medications: For specialized pain management.
