About

Victoria Compounding Pharmacy is Victoria's oldest pharmacy (since 1910), specializing in custom-compounded medications tailored to individual patient needs, including seniors with complex medication requirements or swallowing difficulties.

Senior Care Path Summary

Victoria Compounding Pharmacy has served Victoria for over 110 years and offers customized pharmaceutical solutions for seniors who have trouble with standard medications. The pharmacy compounds unique medication strengths, unavailable medications, and alternative dosage forms like liquids or suppositories for those with swallowing difficulties, a common concern for older adults.

The pharmacy can prepare medications free of allergens and unwanted additives, important for seniors managing multiple conditions or sensitivities. Their work with flavoured formulations ensures seniors can take medications consistently without taste-related compliance issues over months or years of chronic disease management.

Licensed by the College of Pharmacists of BC and adhering to Canadian Federal and Provincial Standards for Pharmaceutical Compounding since 1910, the pharmacy delivers professional quality assurance. Dr. John Forster-Coull, the pharmacy manager, ensures practice standards are met for vulnerable older patients.
