Every parent knows that giving medicine to a child can be a challenge.

From flavouring medication to make it taste better, to individualised strengths and dosage forms, to colour free and preservative free preparations a compounding pharmacist can help make medication time easier and less stressful for your child – and you!

There are compounded treatment options available for sleep, reflux, nausea and vomiting, children with ADHD or Autism, nappy rash, eczema, skin problems and much more!

Unique Dosage Forms and Strengths

Many children find it challenging to swallow capsules or tablets.  Furthermore, a commercially made product may not be available in a strength suitable for your child. Children vary in age and weight and the dose of their medication does too. In conjunction with your doctor or paediatrician our compounding pharmacist can formulate and prepare medications in alternate dosage forms including oral liquids and suspensions, topical gels and creams, capsules or suppositories

Colour Free and Preservative Free

Many children have allergies and intolerances. Their medications may need to be free from sugar, artificial sweeteners, gluten, casein, soy and colour. For these reasons it can be difficult to find a commercially available medication suitable for your child’s individual needs. A compounding pharmacist working closely with a paediatrician or GP can formulate a medication which meets all the child’s requirements.
