Pediatric Compounding
Prescribing and administering medications to children can be challenging and present many problems especially finding accurate dosage forms and flavors that will ensure the child will take the medication.
We can compound oral medications into pleasantly flavored suspensions, solutions, rapid dissolve tablets, lollipops, freezer pops, “gummy bears” or lozenges, in colors that entice the child to take the medication. Some drugs can be compounded into transdermal gels that can easily be applied to an appropriate site, such as the child’s wrist, for absorption through the skin.
These alternative palatable formulations are more likely to improve a child’s medication therapy compliance and minimise spillage or waste during administration. Greater medication compliance leads to improved medical outcomes.
Examples of our Problem-Solving Solutions for Kids
- Preparation of medications in commercially unavailable dosage forms (e.g. lollipops, gummy bears, puddings, freezies, syrups, suspensions, lozenges, suppositories, transdermals, etc.)
- Flavor adjustment (e.g. hundreds to choose from such as cherry, raspberry, strawberry, watermelon, banana, orange, grape, chocolate, bubblegum, etc.)
- Preparation of medications in commercially unavailable dosages (e.g. increase or decrease dose, dosing on a mg/kg basis, sustained release)
- Removal of unnecessary or unwanted ingredients (e.g. lactose, gluten , corn starch, colouring agents , fillers, dyes, preservatives)
Our compounding service can provide solutions for a variety of childhood conditions as well
- Refulx
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD
- Autism • Severe Nappy Rash
- Fungal Infections • Head Lice
- MolluscumContagiosum
- Nausea & Vomiting

- We can also tailor made – individual nutrient combination treatments comprising of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and cofactors can be specifically compounded in order to treat the offending biochemical imbalance for each specific patient.
- In addition we also formulate biomedical treatments in accordance to DAN and Pfeiffer protocols for the treatment of autism and many other mental conditions prescribed by appropriately trained practitioners. These include preparations that aid under methylators or over methylators, pyrroluria, MT primers, copper chelators and chelation therapy.
