About Low-Dose Naltrexone Compounding

Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN) is a compounded preparation that uses naltrexone at much lower doses than standard formulations. It has been studied for its potential benefits in managing autoimmune conditions, chronic pain, and inflammatory disorders. Compounding allows for precise dosing at the low strengths required, which are not commercially available.

Dosage Forms We Prepare

  • capsules
  • sublingual tablets
  • transdermal cream

What Is Pharmacy Compounding?

Think of pharmacy compounding as the culinary arts meets cutting-edge science — except instead of crafting the perfect dish, we're creating a medication tailored explicitly for you. Just like no two patients are exactly alike, sometimes your medication shouldn't be either. When a standard commercial product doesn't fit — whether it's a flavour a child can't tolerate, an ingredient you're sensitive to, or a format that's hard to take — compounding steps in.

Our compounding pharmacists work like medical mixologists, combining individual pharmaceutical ingredients in precise measurements to create medications that match your prescription and unique needs. Working closely with you and your healthcare provider, we transform raw pharmaceutical ingredients into customized solutions tailored to your lifestyle, preferences, and medical needs. It's healthcare that's truly made to measure.

Compounding also plays an important role during medication shortages. When a necessary medication becomes temporarily unavailable or is discontinued in Canada, our pharmacists can often recreate it so patients don't face gaps in their care.

A Trusted Alberta Pharmacy Since 1934

Dispensaries Ltd has been caring for Alberta families for over 90 years. What began in 1934 as a single Edmonton dispensary has grown into a network of seven neighbourhood pharmacies across Edmonton, Sherwood Park, St. Albert, and Spruce Grove — each one staffed by pharmacists licensed by the Alberta College of Pharmacy. Through generations of change in healthcare, our approach has stayed the same: take the time to know each patient, and make medicine fit the person rather than the other way around.

That philosophy is why we invest in specialized compounding labs, professional-grade supplement lines, and pharmacist-reviewed patient education through our Health Hub. Whether you visit us in person or order from across Canada, you're working with a pharmacy team that treats your questions as seriously as your prescriptions.
