Compounding
Pediatric Compounding: Benefits for kids
1. What is compounding?
Compounding is the art and science of preparing customized prescription and non-prescription medications in order to meet a patient’s specific needs.
2. My child simply hates taking medication! Everytime he does, it becomes a struggle for the both of us. How can I make it easier for him and less stressful on me?
Other than several flavoring options to choose from, we can compound medication into various dosage forms such as lollipops, gelatin troches (like Gummy Bears), baby pacifiers, and rapid dissolve tablets just to name a few.
3. My daughter can’t seem to keep her medication down? What can I do?
We can compound a fast-acting gel that can be applied to the skin and absorbed straight into her blood stream..making her feel better within minutes!
4. Will my child get the same dosage if the medication is compounded?
Absolutely!
