Pediatric Compounding
Kids Are Unique
What they put in their mouth is often determined by how it tastes, smells, and looks.
Parents often have the difficult task of administering medication to their kids and often get stressed at the mention of "medicine" and "child" in the same sentence. This is why compounding for children can be an enormous help to both parent and physician.
As compounding specialists we can...
- ...Alter the color and taste of medication.
- ...Exclude the glutens, corn, dyes, preservatives, and other binding ingredients found in commercially available medications that may exacerbate your child's allergies and hinder their recovery.
What's more
- ...Physicians know most commercially manufactured drugs are not often the best solutions for kids because the medication is not always available in the strength needed for the child's age and weight; or they are not available in the dosage form needed; or simply not available anymore.
As compounding pharmacists we can change all that.
