Frequently asked questions
- How much will the compounded medication cost? The cost of the compounded medication will vary based on what was prescribed by your physician. We direct bill to most private insurance plans. Shipping is always free!
- When will my medication arrive? Your pharmacist will give you a specific window of time, and the timing will depend on the compounding requirements. Once the medication has been compounded, the delivery will arrive in 1 to 3 business days.
- Is compounding safe? Yes. Health Canada has stated that compounded prescriptions are both ethical and legal as long as they are prescribed by a licensed practitioner for a specific patient and compounded by a licensed pharmacy. Compounding practices are regulated by the Ontario College of Pharmacists.
- How do I get refills? You can easily request a prescription refill online or by contacting your local DrugSmart Pharmacy. To refill online: go to the product "Prescription Refill", select your DrugSmart location, enter your Rx number, add it to your cart, and check out.
- Are all pharmacies compounding pharmacies? No. Only certain pharmacies have the model standards, license, and equipment required to compound medications. Learn more about the National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities (NAPRA) Model Standards for Pharmacy Compounding of Non-Sterile Preparations.
