Pharmacies and Chemists - Australia
What is Compounding? Compounding is the mixing of drugs by a pharmacist, physician, or veterinarian to fit the unique needs of a patient. This may be done for medically necessary reasons, such as to change the form of the medication from a solid pill to a liquid, to avoid a non-essential ingredient that the patient is allergic to, or to obtain the exact dose needed. It may also be done for voluntary reasons, such as adding favorite flavors to a medication.

Compounding Chemists of Australia.
b) We use Avicel HP 105 (Microcrystalline cellulose NF) fill or patients
may request acidophilus, lactobacillus as the fill.
c) Our Low Dose Naltrexone formulations are prepared as "fast release".
d) The process employed during compounding involves a registered
pharmacist with post-graduate qualification in pharmaceutical compounding
who weighs ingredients used in compounded medications. A highly accurate
method of trituration and mixing powders uniformly is used and then
encapsulated into capsules.
e) Details can be entered online and capsules can be posted via express
post to patients.
f) We are proud of the service we deliver to our patients not only with LDN
but other compounded medications.

Patricia Ullmann
Pharmacist In Charge
Overview:
1) LDN is formulated as fast release- unless the doctor specifies long
acting on the prescription (and the patient confirms this)
2) LDN fast release is the default where no release rate is specified
3) Irrespective of the condition to be treated, due to their respective
densities,we have found that AVICEL is the suitable filler for naltrexone.
Lactose as a filler is unsuitable for all patients due to density variation
between it and naltrexone PLUS may be unsuitable for autism where some
authorities advise against the intake of sugars.
4) We have not had any requests for topical LDN
5) We have repeat clients
Details:
a) Faxed and online prescriptions are accepted and the medication
despatched or picked up by the patient after the originals have been
presented or posted.
b) Our facilities are purpose built and we follow SOPs with internal checks
and balances.
c) We purchase pure Naltrexone powder from Australian licensed fine
chemical suppliers, accompanied by Certificates of Analysis.
d) Filler is usually rice flour unless a special request is made. Rice
filler suits celiac patients or most patients with chemical sensitivities.
e) We will prepare instant release or slow release as specified on the
prescription.
f) For high turnover products we employ an additional procedure. The raw
materials are analysed by HPLC after they have arrived from the supplier.
Finished products are also randomly analysed. This process is time
consuming, expensive and requires special expertise, however if volumes of
naltrexone sales justified it, we would consider it. This analytical
testing exceeds legal requirements for compounding chemists.
