Mental health is a personal journey and finding the right treatment can be complex.

Mental health is a vital part of overall wellness, and at PCCA, we're committed to supporting the journey towards a healthier mind.

We understand that mental health challenges can be complicated and diverse and standard mental health medications don’t always provide a solution.

Personalised medicines

We formulate personalised medicines, otherwise known as compounded medicines, to provide patients with treatments that address their individual needs and preferences, while also improving effectiveness. 

We can:

  • Customise dosages: Medications can be tailored to the exact dosage needed, which is particularly useful if standard doses are too strong or too weak.
  • Formulate combination therapies:  Multiple medications can be combined into a single dose, simplifying the treatment regimen.
  • Provide allergen-free options: Personalised medications can exclude allergens or other unwanted ingredients, reducing the risk of adverse reactions.
  • Offer alternative delivery methods: Medications can be made in various forms such as liquids, sublingual suspensions, nasal sprays, topical creams, rapid dissolve tablets (RDTs) or lozenges, that require a different method of administration.

 

Mental health concerns we can help with: 

We offer personalised solutions for a wide range of mental health concerns, including:

Depression, anxiety and trauma

These mental health challenges can significantly impact a person’s life, manifesting in various ways, affecting mood, thoughts, behaviour and overall well-being.

Challenges faced:

Finding the right treatment path can often be challenging. Standard medications may not always be effective or well-tolerated, and managing multiple medications can be complex. Additionally, individuals may have unique sensitivities or require alternative approaches for treatment-resistant conditions.

How we can help:

We can adjust dosages, combine therapies, offer alternative forms and provide allergen-free options. We can create customised formulations in various forms, such as a suspension. Our unique base, Anhydrous SuspendIt®, offers improved taste, broader application and prolonged expiry dates.

We can also add flavours for improved palatability, which is especially helpful for children or those with taste sensitivities. Compounded medications can be tailored for specific populations, such as the elderly or those with chronic conditions.

Brain health

Brain health is essential for overall well-being, affecting cognitive function, memory, focus and mood. Health conditions and ageing can lead to challenges with our brain health.

Challenges faced:

Maintaining optimal brain health can be challenging due to factors like ageing, stress and certain medical conditions. These challenges can manifest as:

  • Brain fog
  • Memory decline
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Decreased mental clarity

How we can help:

We offer personalised medications customised to individual needs. These may include neuroprotective agents to help shield brain cells from damage, or ingredients like omega-3 fatty acids and B vitamins to support memory and focus. Medications can be tailored to the exact dosage needed, can exclude allergens or other unwanted ingredients, be adjusted to the precise dosage needed and prepared in various alternative forms, such as liquids or lozenges.

Sleep disorders

Millions of people struggle with sleep disorders, which can significantly impact energy levels, mood and overall health.


Common sleep concerns include:

  • Insomnia
  • Restless legs syndrome
  • Sleep apnoea
  • Narcolepsy
  • Circadian rhythm disorders

Challenges faced:

Achieving restful sleep can be challenging due to various factors, including stress, anxiety, medical conditions and changes in your sleep-wake cycle. Standard sleep medications may not always be effective or may cause unwanted side effects.

How we can help:

Our personalised medication can include ingredients such as melatonin, magnesium and glycine to help regulate the sleep-wake cycle and promote relaxation for better sleep quality.

Thanks to our unique bases, we can provide patients with more dosage forms, such as lozenges. Our NataTroche® base is specifically designed for creating lozenges that taste great, have a pleasant texture, and are made with natural ingredients. It’s also excellent at masking bitter ingredients, which can help improve patient experience and adherence to treatment.

Commonly prescribed medications or combinations:

  • Melatonin
  • Magnesium
  • Glycine
  • Low-dose naltrexone (LDN)
  • Trazodone
