Pediatric

Children are especially suited for custom compounded prescriptions. For various reasons, commercially manufactured drug forms sometimes may not meet the needs of every child.

Compounding can benefit young patients in a variety of ways:

• Adding a flavoring to a liquid suspension.
• Using an alternate dosage form.
• Changing the strength of the medication.
• Removing certain chemicals that the child is allergic to.

Working closely with a compounding pharmacist, your child’s pediatrician can prescribe medications for:

• GERD (i.e., acid reflux)
• Pain relief (i.e., dental)
• Respiratory disorders
• Oral thrush
• Diabetes
• Head lice
• Diaper rash
• Skin disorders
• Cold sores/fever blisters
• And much more!
