Yes. Patients have the right to ask about the ingredients contained in their compounded medication.

Upon request, National Custom Compounding can provide information about:

Active Ingredients

These are the ingredients responsible for the intended therapeutic effect of the medication prescribed by your healthcare practitioner.

Inactive Ingredients (Excipients)

Inactive ingredients are used to support the formulation and may include substances such as:

• Fillers
• Suspending agents
• Flavouring agents
• Sweeteners
• Preservatives
• Cream, gel, or lotion bases
• Capsule shell materials

While these ingredients do not provide the therapeutic effect of the medication, they can be important for stability, absorption, taste, ease of administration, and patient tolerability.

Why Might Patients Request Ingredient Information?

Patients commonly request ingredient information if they:

• Have known allergies or sensitivities
• Follow specific dietary or lifestyle requirements
• Have concerns about preservatives, gluten, lactose, dyes, or other excipients
• Would like a better understanding of their compounded medication
