Pediatric Compounding

At American Integrative Pharmacy, our seasoned pharmacists understand the critical role compounding pharmacy can place in the area of pediatric medicine. We can offer specialized solutions that are tailored to enable improved compliance for children where commercial medications do not meet the patient’s needs.

When commercial products are only available in solid oral forms, we can formulate them into suspensions, lozenges, and suppositories for better compliance. Child patients with specific dietary requirements, or having food allergies, sensory processing disorders, and other concerns can also benefit from our pediatric compounding medications.

Our pharmacists will collaborate with the pediatrician and the patient’s caregiver to deliver customized and unique solutions to meet the patient’s needs. Based on the child’s prescription, we can compound medications in a form and flavor that your child will cheerfully agree with.

AIP’s Pediatric Compounds can Treat a Variety of Conditions

Pediatric medications in commercial forms often turn out to be unpleasant to taste or hard to swallow for children. Our highly trained pharmacists at American Integrative Pharmacy can help encourage compliance and make it easier for children to take their medications. Our high quality ingredients are safe and helpful even for infants below the age of six months who may be required to avoid preservatives in the medication.

Our pediatric compounded medications can be used to address a wide range of illnesses and conditions, including:

• Topical Anesthesia
• Pain relief
• Vomiting and nausea
• Diaper rashes
• Tonsillitis
• Cold and sore throat
• Acid reflux
• Constipation
• Dental treatments
• Eczema and skin disorders
• Acne and marks
• Respiratory disorders
• Fever blisters and cold sores
• Head lice
• Fungal infections and oral thrush
• Scabies
• Injury related pain
• Epilepsy
• Behavioral problems
• Autism
• ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)

To ensure improved adaptation to the prescription medications for your child, we can also offer compounded products that are free of dyes, preservatives, soy, sugar, and gluten. Our helpful pharmacists can customize the flavors as well as delivery methods, such as lozenges, suppositories, suspensions, and lollipops.

Food Allergies and Medically Prescribed Diets

Our compounding pharmacists at AIP are experienced in meeting the medication needs of kids with common or rare food allergies. We can use allergen-free bases and pharmaceutical grade ingredients to provide the required medication choices.

For instance, sorbitol and high-fructose corn syrup are often a part of commercial medications, which may have to be avoided for a child with corn allergy. We can provide a suspension base or solution and other ingredients that do not contain these allergens.

At American Integrative Pharmacy, we also receive requests to assist with kids who have specific dietary needs. If the pediatric patient is on a gluten-free diet or a low-carb ketogenic diet, adding medications that contain gluten or carbohydrates may defeat the dietary goals. Our pharmacists can provide safe and effective solutions to complement the child’s medically prescribed diet.

Choose a Skilled and Compassionate Pharmacist

Our dedicated pharmacists at AIP know the importance of working collaboratively to help improve patient compliance for prescribed pediatric compounding medications. Our pharmacists can work closely with the pediatrician as well as spend time with the child and parents to provide options and choices that they will happily agree with.
