What is Kingsway Compounding?
The "art" of making unique personal medicines is called Compounding. At Kingsway Compounding we make unique medicines that are specific for your needs. In essence we are practicing pharmacy as it was many years ago, yet this “art” has been lost over the years with our perceived need for "one dose fits all" medicines.
The compounding department was developed to provide our patients and practitioners unlimited treatment options.
Why use Compounding?
What may work well for one person may not necessarily work well for another person and this is where compounding comes in. With advances in technology and improved pharmaceutical equipment we are now able to provide “old” treatments and develop new treatments that weren't even conceivable 10 years ago. Ironically some of the "old medicines" that are no longer made commercially are now back via compounding and used to great effect.
There may be times when the form of a particular medicine does not suit you, for example you may have difficulty swallowing a tablet. As a Compounding pharmacy we can change the form of a medicine; into a chewy tablet or tasty liquid form; maybe into a cream or even a suppository if necessary, your customised medicine for your individual needs.
We can tailor-make a dose (quantity and strength) to suit you exactly; reduce the number of daily doses; combine multiple medicines into one preparation; make medicines more palatable, combine minerals, vitamins, amino acids in proportions to suit you; the choices are endless and designed specifically for you.
Customised medicines improve patient compliance, reduce negative side effects (by eliminating “overdoses” from standardised preparations) and provide the practitioner with a greater variety and flexibility in their treatment options, ultimately leading to healthier and happier patients.
What can Kingsway Compounding do for you?
Our Compounding pharmacy specialises in formulating and compounding individualised medicines for;
Autism and biochemical imbalances
Using a biomedical approach we work together with the practitioner to formulate a unique medication or supplement. We combine both DAN (Defeat Autism Now) and Pfeiffer protocols (Primer and Promoter) and are continuously formulating new and innovative products providing your Practitioner with as many treatment options as possible for you.
Nutritional needs
Our Compounding Pharmacy can make a nutritional supplement unique for you and your lifestyle. From blood and urine analysis, a comprehensive profile of your nutritional status can be identified. From this, poor functioning and imbalanced biochemical pathways can be identified and an appropriate formulation can be made to assist in correcting these pathways. These formulations contain many different combinations of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and amino acids.
Chelation
Our Compounding Pharmacy has developed many formulations to assist in this treatment. Biochemical imbalances in the body are often linked to an overload of toxic heavy metals. We make special trandsermal creams & suppositories with chelating agents that can facilitate the removal of these heavy metals in a controlled and safe manner via a qualified practitioner.
Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Bio-identical means that despite being synthetically made, these biologically active molecules are biochemically indistinguishable from the molecules that exist naturally in our body. Bio-identical molecules are identical in every way to natural human estrogens, progesterone, testosterone and other hormones.
Only via a qualified medical practitioner, we make specialised and individualised BHRT preparations that may assist in correcting hormone imbalances.
Our Compounding Laboratory
At Kingsway Compounding we have separate, dedicated laboratory rooms to make our nutritional preparations, dermatologicals and our BHRT preparations to prevent any cross contamination of ingredients. We use the most advanced equipment available to produce high quality products. Our experienced compounding staff include: Five pharmacists, a nutritionist and 3 compounding technicians.
We use pharmaceutical grade ingredients (eg. minerals, vitamins, amino acids) complying with USP/BP/EP/JP specifications. Our suppliers are TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) approved. We also source our raw materials from all over the world from manufacturers that are both TGA and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) approved and recognised for their high standards and quality pharmaceutical materials. Our ingredients are further independently tested for assay and heavy metals by the National Measurement Institute, (Australian Government) in Melbourne, Australia.
We pride ourselves on our quality standards, professional service and innovation/problem solving capabilities. We enjoy rising to a challenge, so if you have a question or just can’t find the answer to your health issue, feel free to call one of our qualified staff…
We may just have the solution you’ve been looking for!
