Compounding for Pediatrics
Kid-Friendly Medications, Customized for Comfort
We partner with pediatricians and caregivers to overcome swallowing challenges, taste aversions, needle fears, and format issues by crafting medications children are more willing to take.
Many drugs have limited pediatric labeling or lack a child-appropriate form. We create kid-friendly dosage forms—flavored suspensions, freezer pops, lozenges or “gummy bears,” concentrates, and lollipops for “swish and swallow” needs—so children can take the medications they need.
Appealing flavors and textures help, but we also account for the physical and chemical properties of each ingredient to keep the preparation safe and effective as well as kid-friendly.
For some therapies, we can deliver medication via transdermal gels applied to the skin, with penetration enhancers when appropriate. This can avoid taste issues and needle fears entirely.
If you need a customized pediatric medication—strength, flavor, form, or alternative delivery—let’s discuss what will work best for your patient.
