Children have unique healthcare needs that often require specialized medications. Our pediatric compounding services are designed to make medication administration easier for young patients, ensuring they receive the medication they need and the best possible care.
Customized Dosages
Standard medications are often dosed for adults, making it difficult to administer the correct dosage to children. We can create medications in the precise dosage required for your child’s age, weight, and medical condition.
Improved Taste
Many children resist taking medication due to unpleasant flavors. We can add child-friendly flavoring to make medications more palatable and to help improve compliance.
Alternative Dosage Forms
Some children have difficulty swallowing pills or tablets. We offer a variety of dosage forms, including liquids, suspensions, gummies, lollipops, and topical creams, to make medication administration easier.
Allergy-Sensitive Formulations
Children can be sensitive to dyes, preservatives, and other inactive ingredients found in commercial medications. Our compounded medications can be free of these allergens, providing a safer option for sensitive patients.
Medications Unavailable Commercially
If a medication is discontinued or unavailable in the necessary strength or form, we can compound it to meet your child’s needs.
Customized Pediatric Medications Tailored to Your Child's Needs
Children often face challenges with standard medications due to their size, taste preferences, and sensitivities. Pediatric compounding allows us to create customized medications that cater specifically to the needs of infants, children, adolescents, and teens. Here’s how our services can help:
