Pediatrics
Getting children to take medication can be a challenge. Kids may not like the taste or texture or color of a medication. They may find it difficult to swallow solid dosages or be afraid of injections. They may also simply resist having to take medication at all.
Our Apothecary by Design compounding pharmacists can help make the medication process easier and less stressful by customizing medicines to meet the unique and individual needs of children.
Compounding allows us to formulate pediatric preparations of medications not available in a suitable pediatric dosage forms. It also enables us to change a concentration based on a child’s individual needs to reduce side effects and improve therapeutic outcomes. (As well as decrease the chances of waste and save parents money.)
In our compounding lab, we have the ability to change the delivery method of a prescription to increase the chances of effectiveness. We can compound oral medications into flavored lozenges, suspensions, or even lollipops to make administering the medication easier and more pleasant (for both parent and child). We can match a child’s taste and color preferences. We can also compound medications into topical creams or transdermal gels that can be easily applied for absorption through the skin.
Our compounding pharmacists will work in collaboration with you and your child’s health care providers to help make the medicine process as smooth and successful as possible.
