BORDER Compounding Pharmacy in Albury, NSW has rebranded as Formulae, with owner Ben Eshelby saying the change "provides a platform for a national network of compounding pharmacies committed to providing a range of individually tailored health, wellness and skincare solutions".
Since launching almost a decade ago, the pharmacy has worked with local doctors, specialists and other health professionals to provide patients with "personalised health solutions, rather than mass-produced pharmaceuticals".
The rebranded Formulae Albury is the founding member of the new group, with Eshelby joined by compounding pharmacist Andrew Middlin and the pharmacy's GM Joe Wilkie who are together "committed to combining their understanding of chemistry, pharmacology, physiology and anatomy with their commitment to personalised health, to improve the wellbeing of both their local and extended community".
Eshelby said Formulae was committed to supporting people looking for a solution to their health issue or "wanting to perform optimally as a human".
"By creating a collaborative community of like-minded professionals, Formulae will be able to guide people and help them discover health options that may never have previously been considered," he said.
A newly launched website at formulae.com.au boasts that "Formulae is the only collective of compounding pharmacists in Australia".
"We are committed to being the new standard in compounding that's focused on helping all people thrive," the site adds.
Others in the network include anti-aging health practitioner Mary-Lou Condon who operates The Compounding Lab in Albion, Qld, and Chris Testa, described as "a highly experienced and respected second-generation compounding pharmacist with a keen interest in maximising a healthy lifespan for patients".
Formulae-branded capsule bottles (pictured) are 100% compostable as part of a commitment to reducing waste in line the group's vision to "revolutionise pharmacy and skincare".
Testa operates pharmacies in Tugun and Maroochydore, Qld.
The group is seeking other members, with the site saying "if you are a compounding pharmacist who believes in treating people as the individuals they are and wants to collaborate with other like-minded pharmacists, we would love to talk to you".
