Kids & Pediatrics
Getting a kid to take medicine shouldn't be a daily negotiation. We flavor it, size the dose to them instead of a chart, and prepare it in a form they'll actually take.

It's not one-size-fits-all
A dose sized for an adult doesn't just scale down for a child, and a bitter liquid or a hard-to-swallow pill can turn every dose into a fight. We can flavor a prescription, change its form, or prepare a strength that isn't sold commercially, all based on what your pediatrician has ordered.

Frequently asked questions
Why would my child need a compounded medication?
Sometimes the commercial version of a medication isn't available in a dose, form, or flavor that works for a child. We can prepare it to match what your pediatrician prescribes.
Can you make medicine taste better for kids?
Yes. We offer a range of flavoring options, so a prescription that might otherwise be hard to get down becomes easier for your child to take.
My child can't swallow pills. What are my options?
We can often prepare a prescription as a liquid, chewable, or troche instead of a pill, based on what your pediatrician orders.
Do I need a prescription for a compounded pediatric medication?
Yes. Every compound starts with a prescription from your child's pediatrician. From there, our pharmacists prepare it to their exact specifications.
Can you leave out dyes or other ingredients my child is sensitive to?
Yes. We can prepare formulas without common irritants like dyes, gluten, or lactose when needed.
Is compounding for pediatric medications covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by plan and medication. Bring in your prescription and insurance information and we'll check your coverage and let you know what to expect.
