If your child has been prescribed certain medication and administering that medication is about as enjoyable as pulling teeth – for both parties – there’s no doubt you’re looking for better solutions.
There are several reasons why administration of medication to kids can be difficult:
- They hate the taste of the medication;
- It comes in a form (such as a large pill) that is intimidating to them;
- It may contain inactive ingredients that trigger allergies or adverse reactions;
- They’re not in a good state to take it as prescribed (such as something that needs to be taken with food but the child has no appetite); and/or
- The dose isn’t ideal for their age/weight.
By reaching out to a pediatric compounding pharmacy, there’s a good chance you can sidestep most or all of these potential concerns.
In many cases, being able to customize medication for children is even more important than it is for adults. We strive to understand your child’s needs in order to compound medication that works just right for them. Some reasons of our compounds include:
- Trouble swallowing
- G-Tube administration
- Skin disorders
- Oral thrush and other fungal infections
- Cold sores/fever blisters
- Diaper rash
- and more!
We also carry MediFrida, a product that delivers the full dose through a soft, familiar pacifier that sends medicine to the side of the cheek, as recommended by doctors, bypassing baby's taste buds to prevent spit-ups so baby swallows full dose (pictured to the right).
