Personalized Solutions for Active Lifestyles

At Cohen Tenoudji Pharmacy, we understand the unique needs of active individuals. Whether you’re a competitive athlete, weekend warrior, or simply committed to staying fit, sports-related injuries and physical stress can affect your comfort, performance, and recovery. When commercial medications fall short, customized compounded medications may offer a more precise solution, tailored to your body and your goals.


Working closely with prescribers, physiotherapists, and other healthcare professionals, our pharmacy team in Montreal, Quebec prepares compounded medications that address a wide range of sports medicine concerns, with individualized strengths, combinations, and delivery methods not always available in standard forms.
