Pediatric Formulations
Making Medicine Easier for Kids
Getting children to take medication can be one of the toughest parts of treatment. Many medicines are only available in strengths or forms made for adults, which can make dosing difficult for children. Others may taste unpleasant, contain allergens, or come in tablets that little ones simply cannot swallow.
That’s where pediatric compounding comes in. Our pharmacy specializes in preparing customized medications designed for children, making treatment safer, easier, and more effective.
Why Choose Compounded Pediatric Medications?
Children are not just “small adults”—their bodies process medications differently. Through compounding, we can:
- Create child-friendly dosage forms – liquids, suspensions, chewables, lozenges, or even gummy-like troches.
- Adjust medication strength – providing doses that are safe and accurate for each child’s weight and age.
- Improve taste – with kid-approved flavors like strawberry, bubblegum, or grape.
- Remove unwanted ingredients – such as dyes, gluten, lactose, or preservatives that may cause sensitivity.
Conditions Compounded Pediatric Formulations Can Support
Compounded medications may help manage:
- Acid reflux (GERD)
- Seizure disorders
- Asthma and allergies
- Skin conditions (eczema, diaper rash, fungal infections)
- Pain or fever management
- Chronic conditions requiring long-term treatment
(Note: Compounded medications are prepared by prescription only, based on your provider’s guidance.)
