We believe that animals’ unmet clinical needs are as important as humans'.

Pets are members of the family and you want them to have medical treatment that’s as attentive and innovative as you expect for yourself.

Personalised medicines (also known as compounded medicines) can provide a much-needed solution to veterinary problems. When it comes to things like skin rashes, eye and ear infections, heart conditions, cancer and diabetes, animals and humans have a lot in common. Standard medications can’t always solve a pet’s unique challenges but personalised medicines offer a solution. 

 

No two animals are the same

Problem, meet solution…

Administration difficulties

Many pets are reluctant to take medication, especially in pill form. Cats are notorious for refusing pills, and dogs may be equally challenging, requiring creative methods to ensure they receive the correct dose.

Size variations

Just like their owners, pets are unique. They come in all shapes and sizes — a dose of medication that is therapeutic for a 35 kg Golden Retriever could be harmful for a 3kg Yorkie. It makes sense that commercially available medicines aren’t always appropriate for each and every pet.

Unique needs and sensitivities

Just like humans, pets can have allergies or sensitivities to certain ingredients in commercially available medications, such as lactose. Large and exotic pets, such as horses, rabbits, birds, ferrets and reptiles, all pose a variety of different medication challenges, too. 

Limited commercial options

Sometimes, manufacturers discontinue a veterinary medication because there’s not enough demand to make mass production cost-effective. But that does not mean there aren’t still pets that need it.

But the solution is often the same for them all: personalised medicine

The advantage of personalised medicines is that they can be adapted specifically to fit your pet’s individual clinical needs. Through the preparation of customised formulations, your veterinarian can prescribe a cream, liquid or other dosage form with the exact ingredients and dose that’s right for your pet. With thousands of formulations available, customisable to the prescription strength and pack size required, personalised medicines can treat a wide range of animals.

Backed by years of experience and a commitment to quality, we’ve created over a million personalised medicines. Contact us to find out more about our services.

Unique bases for your animal

We’ve developed a range of specialised bases designed to optimise the delivery and effectiveness of veterinary medications.

Our ZoSil® base, for instance, is the compounding industry’s first topical gel base specifically formulated for veterinary use. This unique silicone hydrogel is not only designed to effectively deliver medications to animal skin, but it also absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy residue, making it convenient for both pets and owners. ZoSil® is gentle on the skin, moisturising and improving the appearance of red, flaky, irritated skin, while also promoting healthy, shiny fur. It’s ideal for conditions like dermatitis and wound care.

We also offer a variety of other bases to address diverse veterinary needs, allowing us to create personalised medications in various forms, including oral suspensions, flavoured liquids, and transdermal gels.
