Compounding Pharmacy for the North Shore

Compounding is the preparation of customized medications when a standard commercial product does not meet a patient's needs. Miracle Prescriptions is a compounding pharmacy on the North Shore, serving patients, physicians, naturopathic doctors, and veterinarians in North Vancouver and West Vancouver.

What we compound

We prepare non-sterile compounds in house, including topical pain preparations and a broad range of dermatological and other formulations. For complex sterile and hazardous preparations, we work with our partner compounding labs, so patients have access to a very wide range of compounded preparations through a single pharmacy.

Topical pain compounding

Topical and transdermal creams and gels applied directly to the affected area. These are used for conditions such as arthritis, back and joint pain, neuropathy, fibromyalgia, and sports injuries, and can reduce the systemic side effects associated with some oral medications.

Dermatological and specialty compounds

Formulations for skin conditions, scars, hair loss, medicated shampoos, nail treatments, and ear, nasal, mouth, vaginal, urological, ophthalmic, and dental preparations, as well as reformulations of medications into forms that are easier to take.

Hormone compounding

Compounded hormone preparations, including bio-identical hormone formulations, prepared to the prescriber's specifications.

Naturopathic compounding

We prepare naturopathic compounds for naturopathic doctors and their patients on the North Shore. If you are a naturopathic doctor in North Vancouver or West Vancouver, contact us to discuss formulations for your practice.

Veterinary compounding

Compounded medications for pets, prepared in flavours, strengths, and dosage forms that make administration easier for animals and their owners.

Sterile and hazardous preparations

Complex sterile and hazardous compounds are prepared through our partner compounding labs and dispensed through our pharmacy, with the same pharmacist oversight as our in-house preparations.

Why compounding

  • Customized doses when commercial strengths do not fit.
  • Alternative dosage forms: capsules, creams, gels, suspensions, and lozenges.
  • Combination preparations that simplify a treatment plan.
  • Formulations that avoid dyes, preservatives, or allergens where clinically appropriate.

For prescribers

Physicians, nurse practitioners, naturopathic doctors, and veterinarians can send prescriptions by fax to (604) 770-2035 or call us at (604) 770-2030 to discuss a formulation. We are glad to suggest options based on the compounding formulas we work with.
