Chiron Compounding Pharmacy
Precision Compounding

Chiron Compounding Pharmacy (CCP) is an advanced compounding pharmacy that specializes in veterinary healthcare. Its ability to precisely address clients’ distinct requirements extends to refining dosage formulations, intricately adjusting potency levels, and even extensively researching alternative options.

While originally named ‘The Veterinary Pharmacy,’ CCP predominantly compounds medications for all types of animals, and on occasion compounds custom prescriptions medications for human use as well. Its medications — encompassing oral products like tablets, capsules, and flavoured chewables, suppositories, gels, creams, ointments, liquids, ophthalmic, otic and topical transdermals— are all compounded in CCP’s state-of-the-art, licensed pharmacy facility.

Specializing in compounding custom prescription medications, CCP has maintained a consistent evolution trajectory to remain at the forefront of innovative pharmaceutical practices. The introduction of its newly renovated cutting-edge Sterile and Non-Sterile Hazardous Suites in 2018 marked a groundbreaking milestone, establishing new benchmarks in the industry. Combining these systems with CCP’s well-established Sterility Suites—dedicated to nonhazardous sterile preparations—showcases the company’s distinctiveness from its national competitors.

“Our expertise lies in creating diverse dosage forms for our patients, most of whom are animals. This empowers us with the flexibility to produce various dosage forms, each designed with precision and care,” says Mitchell D. Silverman, president of Chiron Compounding Pharmacy.

For instance, the local Canadian market experienced unparalleled backorder volumes in 2022-23, especially for pediatric human patients. The company promptly shifted its focus from regular veterinary obligations to supporting caregivers and children who required vital treatments, such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and amoxicillin. CCP prioritized the provision of user-friendly liquid medications with accurately measured dosages. This strategic maneuver aimed to ensure protocol adherence, further contributing to aiding patients in need of these important pediatric medications.

During the pandemic, CCP extended its operating hours and collaborated with veterinarians to ensure timely medication delivery. In addition, the firm’s forwardthinking procurement team works with global suppliers who follow allocations to ensure nationwide API availability, responding to the dynamic changes in the Canadian veterinary market. Veterinarians and compounders are noticing significant changes due to the ongoing challenges of resource scarcity in veterinary clinics and API suppliers. The pandemic has also highlighted the need for flexible, innovative workflows and staffing for top-notch customer service. Under manager Becky Campbell, B.Sc., Phm.’s leadership, CCP’s pharmacists and team evolved to meet client demands, ensuring customer satisfaction and success.

CCP prides itself on its ability to address all kinds and types of animals. Primarily known for their companion animal health, they also address the needs for the equine market, wildlife, marine, exotics and lab animals. Moreover, CPP also assists veterinarians who operate in specialized practice settings, such as wildlife management agencies. It serves veterinarians working with zoo animals, reptiles, rodents, and birds with compounded solutions, including pain management, seizure control, chemotherapy, and dermatological conditions. Its innovative products safely and efficiently immobilize various species for preservation, conservation studies, and addressing public safety concerns. Their sustained-release products helped to change the way veterinarians practice when prescribing pain management for their cats and dogs alike. The company’s pharmacists also guide optimal antimicrobial therapy, including selection, dosing, administration route, and duration.

CCP is known for their immediate accessibility of pharmacists for customer queries. The firm is distinguished by its flexibility and boutique nature, fueled by dedicated staff collaboration. These collective attributes culminate in a pharmacy that thrives and constantly excels in serving its clientele.

Central to this success is the leadership of Becky Campbell and the seasoned pharmacist team, amassing over a century of combined experience as Healthcare Professionals across Canada and beyond. Their extensive expertise as healthcare professional’s spans dedicated years in compounding for all types of animals. A shared love for animals resonates across the team, fostering a sense of fulfillment in delivering exceptional products.
