Children offer a unique challenge for every parent when it comes to administering medication. Many drugs taste terrible. Others are in tablets too large to swallow. Some arent even made for children. In cases where a medication is manufactured in liquid form, it often doesnt meet the taste requirements of children. Flavoured medications While we know that medicine isnt candy, it really helps if their medication tastes more pleasant. Your child can choose one of our many flavours . Besides making the medication taste a lot better, flavouring also increases compliance. Sugar-free, Aspartame-free, Alcohol-free suspensions Many commercial products include sugar, aspartame or alcohol. We can compound the required medication without these additives. Alternative dosage forms and strengths Most medications that are developed were made for adults. The strengths and size of the tablet are not acceptable to children and infants. Our compounding pharmacists can work with your paediatrician to ensure that your child gets the right medication for their needs. Several dosage forms are possible: - Lollipop - Gummy bear, lozenge - Suspension, liquid - Suppository - Effervescent powder - Topical cream
