Kids and Medicine: A Special Challenge
Parents know that children can present several challenges when it comes to taking their medications. Some children may resist taking a liquid medicine due its taste. Some have difficulty swallowing pills. And many children have a fear of injections.
Also, many medications aren’t labeled for children. If a medicine isn’t approved for use in infants and children, it usually isn’t available in a suitable pediatric dosage form.
Wise Pharmacy: A Custom Solution for Children’s Oral Medication
Wise Pharmacy can help your child’s medicine go down with less resistance, by compounding oral medications into many pleasantly flavored forms, including:
- Suspensions
- Solutions
- Rapid Dissolve Tablets
- Lollipops
- “Gummy Shapes”
- Lozenges
…in a rainbow of colors that makes it more fun for your child to take the medication.
Wise Pharmacy Offers Alternatives to Oral Medication
With a healthcare provider’s prescription, we also may be able to compound some children’s drugs into transdermal gels. These gels may be applied to an appropriate site, like a child’s wrist, where they are absorbed through the skin to enter the bloodstream.
Medicine Only Helps When Your Child Actually Takes It!
Our alternative compounded formulations may offer you and your child real advantages over typical formulations:
- Compliance: Your child is more likely to take his or her medicine.
