PEDIATRIC
COMPOUNDING
It’s no secret that most kids don’t like taking medicine. From flavoring medications to make them taste better, to providing individualized strengths and dosage forms, a compounding pharmacist can help make medication time easier and less stressful for your child – and you!
We work together with Pediatricians, families, and their children to customize pediatric medications and meet specific needs.
Children pose many challenges when it comes to medication: they may resist having to take a medication, dislike the taste or texture, have difficulty swallowing solid dosage forms, and are fearful of injections. Most medications are not labeled for pediatric populations, and when a medication is not approved for use in infants and children, it usually is not available in a suitable pediatric dosage form.
“Drugs don’t work if people don’t take them.”
