Pediatric Compounding
Children are possibly the patients who can benefit the most from compounding.
Parents may have difficulty getting their children to take their medicine because of taste, type of dosage form or sometimes a reaction or allergy to certain ingredients of commercially available products.
Often times – certain medication can either be long term out of stock on not commercially available in pediatric dosage forms – which in the latter case, need to be dose, dosage form and taste adjusted for children.
The most common pediatric dosage forms include suspensions, troches, lollipops, topical or transdermal preparations, and suppositories.
