If you've ever tried to administer drugs to a child, you know how stressful and challenging it can be. Children often don’t want to take medications because they dislike the taste, texture, or have difficulty swallowing. Compounded medications can be specifically developed to meet your child’s preferences. Their prescriptions can be made into many forms – including syrups, suspensions, lozenges, gummy bears, and transdermal creams and gels. You can also choose from a large variety of flavors and colors they will enjoy.

Every child is unique and they vary in size and weight. The pharmacist can work with your child’s physician to help formulate a medication that is the right dose for their age and size.

Some children have allergies or sensitivities to fillers, binders, preservatives or other additives in certain medications. By compounding your child’s prescriptions without these additives and from using only the active ingredients alone, may result in these side effects being avoided.
