Sterile Compounding
Aseptically prepared injectables, ophthalmics, veterinary and specialty sterile medicines compounded under strict environmental control in our North Perth cleanroom.
Aseptic preparation, patient by patient
Sterile compounding is carried out in laminar airflow cabinets within a controlled cleanroom environment, by pharmacists and technicians trained and validated in aseptic technique. Every preparation is made against a valid prescription, documented in a batch record, and released only after quality checks are complete.
- Gowning, gloving and media-fill validated operators

- Approved, traceable pharmaceutical-grade ingredients
- Documented formulation and batch records for every preparation
- Beyond-use dating supported by stability references and testing
- Cold-chain packing and tracked dispatch where required
Injectables
Sterile injections compounded by prescription order include intracavernosal injections of papaverine and phentolamine, sometimes with prostaglandin E1 ("tri-mix"), in customised doses — along with a range of other patient-specific injectable preparations for specialists and clinics.
Ophthalmics
We compound sterile ophthalmic drops, ointments, sprays, injections and pre-operative solutions. Preparations can contain a single drug or a combination, in the most appropriate strength and concentration for a specific use — such as fortified antibiotic or pre-op drops.
Erectile dysfunction — tri-mix injection
Men with erectile dysfunction who used triple therapy (papaverine, phentolamine and prostaglandin E1) by intracavernosal injection and then changed to oral sildenafil reported a greater preference than expected for triple therapy, with erection quality generally better than with sildenafil.
Fear of pain with intracavernosal injection therapy may discourage its use, yet clinical findings show that discomfort is minimal for the majority of patients. In men with type 1 and type 2 diabetes and severe erectile dysfunction, self-injection of vasoactive drugs is a safe and effective long-term alternative — the key is adjusting the therapeutic method and dose to optimal levels.
These preparations are supplied only on prescription and are dispensed in conjunction with specialists in men's health.
Veterinary sterile preparations
Sterile veterinary preparations compounded by prescription order include methocarbamol, guaifenesin, mitomycin C and a range of ophthalmic preparations such as tacrolimus and ganciclovir eye drops. These are compounded with the same rigour and quality control as our human-use medicines and tailored to species and treatment context.
Pluronic gels. Platinum-based chemotherapy drugs (cisplatin, carboplatin, oxaliplatin) are frequently used in the treatment of neoplasia and other solid tumours in both humans and animals. Therapy is often limited by serious systemic adverse effects such as nephrotoxicity and myelosuppression, and by emerging tumour resistance. Delivering these drugs locally through intratumoral or regional administration has reduced systemic toxicity, though drug resistance remains a major issue.
