Compounding pharmacy near me: how do you find one?

The problem: compounding pharmacies are hard to find

There are more than 150 compounding pharmacies in the Netherlands, but most people don't know they exist. They don't advertise, they don't run Google ads, and most GPs don't refer patients to them.

If you search for "compounding pharmacy near me" you probably won't find much. That's exactly the problem Magistra solves.

What should you look for in a compounding pharmacy?

Not every pharmacy can prepare compounded medications. A good compounding pharmacy has:

BIG registration

The pharmacist must be registered in the BIG register. You can verify this at the BIG register.

Specialisation in compounding

Look for pharmacies that specifically focus on compounding — not every pharmacy with a BIG number offers this service.

Proper facilities

A compounding pharmacy has a dedicated preparation room with the right equipment, ventilation and hygiene protocols.

IGJ inspection

Check that the pharmacy is inspected by the Health and Youth Care Inspectorate.
