Riverside Pharmacy & Compounding

At Victoria Compounding Pharmacy, we are proud to be celebrating over 110 years as Victoria's oldest pharmacy.

Our Services

We understand that traditional medicines may not always meet the unique needs of every individual. That's why we offer a range of specialized services to help solve medication problems. Our expert team of pharmacists and compounders can create customized solutions to address specific patient needs.

Unique Medication Strengths

Do you find that your current medication is not effective due to an incorrect dosage? Our pharmacy can prepare medications in unique strengths to ensure that you receive the exact dose your doctor prescribes. We can create medications in strengths that are not commercially available, providing you with the best possible care.

Unavailable Medications

If a medication is no longer commercially available or has been discontinued, we may be able to obtain the necessary chemicals to compound a replacement. We work closely with physicians and patients to ensure that our compounded medications meet their specific needs.

Unique Dosage Forms

Medications are often available only in tablets or capsules. However, we can create unique dosage forms, such as liquids, suppositories, or creams, to meet the specific needs of patients with swallowing difficulties or other special needs.

Bad Tasting Medicine

Do you find that the taste of your medication is unbearable? We can prepare medications in a range of flavors, from peppermint to orange-guava-melon, to make taking your medication more enjoyable.

Veterinary Compounding

We also provide specialized pharmaceutical services for animals. Our expert team can create custom medications for pets based on their size, weight, and specific needs.

Allergies

If you have an allergy to a particular ingredient in a commercial medication, we can compound a medication that is free from that ingredient, ensuring your safety and comfort.
