What is Compounding?
Compounding is the art and science of preparing specially made medications for patients. Now more than ever, physicians are working with pharmacists to offer patients medicines that are customized specifically for certain needs. Children and pets are particularly suited for compounded prescriptions, as commercially manufactured medicines are often not the best solution for kids or animals. Working closely with our expert compounding pharmacist at KidsRx, your child's physician can prescribe custom made medications for pain relief, respiratory problems, diabetes, head lice, diaper rash, skin ailments, cold sores/fever blisters and much more. KidsRx and our approach to compounding benefit patients and parents in many exciting ways.
FLAVOR
A child who refuses to take his/her medicine because of the taste is a perfect candidate for compound medication alternatives. Dozens of flavors are available to compounding pharmacists, who can alter the taste and color of a medication, while also ensuring that the flavor's pH is compatible with the medication's properties. At KidsRx, your child won't mind taking medicine as much when it tastes like cherry or even chocolate.
DOSAGE
Many patients have a hard time swallowing capsules or tablets, especially if they have to take multiple doses during the day. To solve the problem, your physician and compounding pharmacist can develop and create medications in alternate dosage forms your child or pet won't mind. These include lollipops, gummy bears, syrups, oral suspensions, freezer pops, lozenges and transdermal gels.
STRENGTH
Children and pets are unique and come in different shapes and sizes. Allergies, changeable tolerances to drugs and family health history all create challenges to finding a commercially accessible medication suitable for the individual needs of your special child or pet. A compounding pharmacy like KidsRx will formulate a medication that comes in the exact dose needed for your child or pet.
