What is a compounding pharmacy?

A compounding pharmacy custom-prepares medications for individual patients when commercial drugs do not meet their needs. This may include adjusting strengths, removing allergens or dyes, changing the form (cream, capsule, liquid, suspension), or combining multiple drugs into a single preparation. All compounding at Humber Bay Compounding Pharmacy is performed under Ontario College of Pharmacists (OCP) and NAPRA Model Standards in a Level C Hazardous Non-Sterile Compounding facility — one of a small number of pharmacies in Ontario operating at this level.

Do I need a special prescription for compounded medication?

Any licensed Ontario prescriber (physician, nurse practitioner, dentist, or naturopath where applicable) can write a prescription for a compounded medication. Your prescriber can fax the prescription directly to Humber Bay Compounding Pharmacy at (647) 351-2323. If you are unsure whether compounding is appropriate for your situation, our pharmacists can speak with your prescriber on your behalf to discuss available options.

Is compounded medication covered by insurance in Ontario?

Many private insurance plans in Canada cover compounded medications, though coverage varies by carrier and ingredient. Humber Bay Compounding Pharmacy provides direct billing to most major insurers and will give you a written cost estimate before compounding so there are no surprises. Ontario Drug Benefit (ODB) coverage for compounded medications is limited and case-dependent — we can review your plan with you before you commit.

What does "Level C Hazardous Non-Sterile Compounding" mean?

Level C is the highest classification under NAPRA Model Standards for non-sterile compounding. It applies to facilities authorized to handle hazardous drugs (such as hormones and chemotherapy-adjacent compounds) using a dedicated negative-pressure room, a Containment Primary Engineering Control (C-PEC) hood with HEPA filtration, and ongoing environmental monitoring. Few pharmacies in Ontario operate at this level — it is the standard required for the safe preparation of hormone therapies and other hazardous-drug compounds.

Do you offer free delivery in Toronto and Etobicoke?

Yes. Humber Bay Compounding Pharmacy offers free local delivery throughout Etobicoke, Mimico, Humber Bay Shores, The Queensway, Islington, South Etobicoke, New Toronto, Long Branch, and parts of Toronto and Mississauga. Same-day or next-day delivery is available for most prescriptions.

How long does it take to compound a prescription?

Most non-sterile compounded prescriptions are ready within 24 to 48 hours of receipt. Hormone preparations and complex multi-ingredient formulations may take slightly longer due to the ingredient sourcing and quality checks required. Urgent compounds can sometimes be prepared the same day — please call (647) 348-2323 to discuss your situation.

Can you compound medications for my pet?

Yes. We work directly with veterinarians across the GTA to compound flavoured liquids, transdermal gels, and custom-strength capsules for dogs, cats, exotic pets, and other animals. Common requests include thyroid medications (methimazole, levothyroxine), antibiotics, behavioural drugs, and pain management compounds — flavoured to make them more palatable for the animal.

What types of medications does Humber Bay Compounding Pharmacy prepare?

Our compounding services include bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), custom topical pain creams for neuropathic pain and arthritis, dermatology compounds for acne, rosacea, psoriasis and hyperpigmentation, pediatric formulations with kid-friendly flavours, veterinary preparations, all-purpose nipple ointment (APNO) for breastfeeding support, and custom hair loss treatments using minoxidil and DHT-blockers. We also prepare medications that have been discontinued or are in commercial shortage.

What does a compounding pharmacy do?

A compounding pharmacy prepares a medication for one patient when a manufactured product doesn't fit — a different strength, a different form such as a cream, capsule, liquid or troche, a flavour a child or pet will accept, or a formula without an ingredient you can't tolerate. Every compound is made to a prescription.

Do I need a prescription for a compounded medication?

Yes. Compounded medications need a prescription from an authorized prescriber, such as a physician, nurse practitioner, dentist or veterinarian. Prescribers can fax (647) 351-2323 or send an e-prescription. You can text a photo of your prescription to (647) 348-2323 so we can start on pricing, but we need the prescription from your prescriber, or the original paper copy, before we dispense.

How long does a compounded prescription take?

Most compounds are ready within 24 to 48 hours after we receive the prescription. We'll tell you if a formula needs longer.

Is compounding covered by insurance?

Many private drug plans cover some compounded prescriptions. Coverage depends on your plan and the ingredients, because compounded preparations are not Health Canada–approved commercial products. We check your coverage and give you a cost estimate before we prepare your medication.

Do you deliver?

Yes. Delivery is free across the GTA. You can also pick up at 2240 Lake Shore Blvd W #107, Etobicoke, ON M8V 0B1.

Can you compound medication for my pet?

Yes, with a prescription from your veterinarian. We prepare flavoured liquids and other forms that are easier to give to dogs, cats and other animals.

What is a Level C compounding facility?

The NAPRA Model Standards for Pharmacy Compounding of Non-Sterile Preparations group compounding into Levels A, B and C. Level C covers hazardous preparations, such as many hormones, and requires a separate compounding room with containment equipment. Humber Bay Compounding Pharmacy operates a Level C compounding room.

Can I fill regular prescriptions here too?

Yes. We're a full-service community pharmacy: new prescriptions, refills and minor ailment assessments by our pharmacists, in addition to compounding.
