Urology Compounding

At Helix Pharmacy, located in Stayner, Ontario, and serving the healthcare needs of Stayner, Wasaga Beach, and the surrounding communities, we understand the sensitive and often individualized nature of urological conditions. Our specialized urology compounding services offer tailored medication solutions crafted by our experienced pharmacists to address a range of urological concerns. We work closely with urologists and their patients to create customized medications that optimize treatment outcomes and improve quality of life.

What is Urology Compounding?

Urology compounding involves the preparation of customized medications to treat various conditions affecting the urinary tract and male reproductive system. This allows for:

• Personalized Formulations: Tailoring medications to a patient's specific diagnosis, symptoms, and any individual sensitivities or allergies.
• Alternative Dosage Forms: Creating medications in forms that may be more effective or easier to administer for urological conditions, such as: 
  • Intravesical Solutions: Medications instilled       directly into the bladder for targeted treatment of conditions like interstitial cystitis or bladder cancer.
  • Topical Creams and Gels: For localized pain relief or skin conditions in the genital area.
  • Capsules: For unavailable medications such as Phenazopyridine 
  • Oral Liquids and Suspensions: For patients who have difficulty swallowing pills or require specific dosages.
  • Suppositories: When oral administration is not feasible or desired.
• Combination Therapies: Combining multiple compatible medications into a single formulation, as prescribed by the urologist, to address multiple symptoms or enhance treatment efficacy.
• Strength Adjustments: Preparing medications with precise strengths that may not be commercially available.
• Compounding Unavailable Medications: Creating access to medications that may have been discontinued by manufacturers such as Phenazopyridine.
• Minimizing Systemic Side Effects: Utilizing localized delivery methods like intravesical solutions or topical creams to target the affected area and potentially reduce systemic side effects.
