Why Patients & Prescribers Choose Us

Not every pharmacy can compound. Not every compounding pharmacy is the same.

Humber Bay Compounding Pharmacy is one of a small number of Ontario pharmacies approved to operate a Level C Hazardous Non-Sterile Compounding facility — the highest standard for non-sterile compounding under the Ontario College of Pharmacists (OCP) and NAPRA Model Standards. That means we can safely prepare medications that most pharmacies in Toronto and the GTA simply cannot, including hormone preparations and other compounds that require specialized handling.

Our Level C Compounding Facility

Few pharmacies in Ontario operate at Level C. Our purpose-built facility includes everything required to prepare hazardous-drug compounds — including bioidentical hormones — safely and to the highest regulatory standard:

Dedicated negative-pressure compounding room, physically separated from the dispensary
Certified Containment Primary Engineering Control (C-PEC) hood with external HEPA filtration
Ongoing environmental monitoring, surface sampling, and quality assessments
Full compliance with OCP and NAPRA Model Standards for Pharmacy Compounding of Non-Sterile Preparations
Hazardous-drug handling protocols aligned with USP <800> principles

OCP Accredited NAPRA Compliant Level C Certified Hazardous Drug Authorized

Personalized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for menopause, perimenopause, andropause, thyroid support, and adrenal balance.

Custom Pain Management Compounding

Topical pain creams that combine multiple active ingredients into a single targeted preparation — often including ketoprofen, gabapentin, lidocaine, amitriptyline, and others. Used for neuropathic pain, osteoarthritis, sports injuries, fibromyalgia, and post-surgical recovery. Topical delivery means targeted relief without the systemic side effects of oral analgesics.

Dermatology Compounding

Custom skin preparations for acne, rosacea, melasma, psoriasis, hyperpigmentation, hair loss, and post-procedure care. We compound tretinoin combinations, hydroquinone formulas, custom minoxidil and finasteride preparations, and barrier-repair creams in optimized vehicles for absorption and tolerability. Allergen-free and preservative-free options available.

Pediatric Compounding

Children often need medications in strengths, flavours, or forms that don't exist commercially. We prepare child-friendly liquids in flavours like bubblegum, cherry, grape, and tutti-frutti, with dye-free and sugar-free options for kids with sensitivities or allergies. Precise weight-based dosing means your child gets exactly what their prescriber ordered, in a form they'll actually take.

We work directly with veterinarians across the GTA to compound flavoured liquids, transdermal gels, and custom-strength capsules for dogs, cats, exotic pets, and large animals. Tuna and chicken flavouring for cats; beef, bacon, and peanut butter for dogs. Common compounds include thyroid medications (methimazole, levothyroxine), antibiotics, behavioural drugs, and pain management formulations.

Central Fill & Prescriber Services

We partner with clinics, family medicine groups, dermatology practices, and other pharmacies across the Greater Toronto Area to provide reliable central-fill compounding for hormone protocols, dermatology preparations, pain management formulations, and pediatric compounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Compounding

Answers to the questions patients and prescribers ask Humber Bay Compounding Pharmacy most often. Don't see yours below? Send us a message or call (647) 348-2323 and a pharmacist will help.

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, and it's our biggest differentiator.

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.
