PEDIATRIC COMPOUNDING

Infants and children are particularly susceptible to the stress and challenges of being sick. While taking medicine is rarely fun, pediatric compounding can help reduce the apprehension, fear, and stress that go along with treatment. Compounded medications provide a safe, customized alternative to manufactured medications available on the market.

Tailored dosage forms and concentrations, combined with a unique delivery system that allows for easy administration, means parents can rest assured their child has received the proper dose.

Pediatric Age Groups. Starting at Pre-Term Newborn Infants, up to Adolescents.

Our pharmacists can work with your pediatrician to provide customized preparations for:

  • Pain relief
  • Scar and wound care
  • Oral thrush
  • Diabetes
  • Autism
  • Head lice
  • Diaper rashes
  • Skin disorders
  • Cold sores and blisters
  • Nutritional disorders and more...

Customized Flavours and Dosage Forms to Meet Your Child’s Needs

Compounded pediatric medications are specifically designed to increase patient compliance. At Val-Est Compounding Pharmacy we can provide compounded preparations that are tailored to your child’s specific needs. We can provide customized dosage forms that improve compliance and simplify the sometimes challenging routine of taking necessary medicines.

Alternative dosage formats include:

  • Topical creams, gels, sprays and foams for targeted delivery through your child’s skin
  • Oral liquids/Suspensions
  • Lollipops
  • Gelatin or gummy treats
  • Pacifier or bottle dosages for infants

We can also flavour medications to make them easier for children to take. This is particularly important with medications that need to be taken for an extended period of time. With a choice of many flavours, we can make just about any medication taste better.

Whatever your child’s condition, ask one of our trained compounding team members about our individualized medication options for children and we can work with your doctor to find a solution for you and your family.
