Most of the parents would happily agree with me when I say that every child at some point has made and unnecessary fuss. This may be at the dinner table or while getting dressed in the morning or taking their routine medicines.
As parents, you know that kids can put you in a challenging situation often when it comes to taking their medicines. A child may resist taking a liquid medicine because of its bad taste. Some children have difficulty in gulping down capsules and pills. Almost all children (including adults) have a fear of needles and syringes.
Compounding pharmacy or pediatric compounding plays a significant role in making it easy for parents to give their child a complete dose of medicine without any resistance and unpleasantness. Pediatric compounding has a lot to offer in terms of a variety of flavors for pediatric medicines and suspensions that make an awfully tasting medicine edible.
In case you didn’t know, many medications that are available commercially and prescribed by pediatricians aren’t labelled for young children. Naturally if a medicine isn’t approved for administration in infants and young children, its dosage, form, and potency would not be suitable for using them in pediatric patients.
Pediatric compounding has the ability to formulate medicines into more infant and children friendly dosage, flavors and forms such as liquids, lollipops. These are a great help in cases where the child is too young to take medicine following a surgery, suppositories.
Professional compounding, is not limited to diluting the regular medications and mixing powders with bases. They make medications which do not contain certain preservatives, allergens or dyes that a particular kid may be allergic to. They consider physical as well as chemical properties of each active and inactive component in order to formulate an effective and safe made to order medication with the required taste, smell, thickness, color, consistency, quality, and potency.
A pediatrician, while prescribing medication to the patient can specifically mention the dosage just right for the kid. The experts at the compounding agency can therefore offer you a customized medicine best suited to your kid. Examples of such formulations include Omeprazole Suspension, Custom “Butt” pastes and Clonicel.
The effectiveness of any compounded medication is directly related to the method, skill and equipment used in making the formulation, purity of the ingredients, choice of the medicine bases, and correct use of additives such as penetration boosters.
