Pediatrics
Having your children take their medication is not always the easiest task. Some children may have difficulty swallowing their medications or won’t take them because they don’t enjoy the taste. Through compounding, these obstacles can be avoided.
Our licensed compounding pharmacists can change the dosage form for your child, turning an unpleasant tasting capsule into a flavorful lollipop. Medications can also be compounded into gummy treats, oral liquids, topical gels, effervescent drinks, and even pacifier or bottle dosages for infants. Along with alternate dosage forms, there are a number of great flavors that you and your child can choose from.
For children who have allergies, varying drug tolerances, or may require medications which are sugar-free, gluten-free, or dye-free, our pharmacists can work closely with a pediatrician in formulating a medication that meets all the child’s requirements.
Examples of Compounded Medications:
- Anti-itch gel
- Cholestyramine gel
- Magic mouthwash
- Pramoxine HCL Aloe Vera Gel
- Tetracaine lollipops
