Children's Section

It is a well known fact by all parents that children don’t like the word medication let alone accepting to take them.

We at Farmacologica Compounding Pharmacy find it very challenging to work with parents and their children to develop ways and means of delivering and methods of administering those medications known to them as being yucky!

Paediatric compounding as in the context of the word is the art and science of tailoring medications for individual patients. In recent years, compounding has experienced resurgence, as many medical practitioners are working with pharmacists to offer their patients the benefits of the medications compounded to cater for individual needs of the patients.

Children are specifically suited for custom compounded prescriptions, as most commercially manufactured medication forms are often not the best solution for kids.

While there’s no guarantee that taking medication will become an entirely pleasurable experience for the little members of our society, it is comforting to know that there some ways to help. In which we will help to make a difference.

Your child’s pediatrician working with a compounding pharmacist can prescribe for the relief of pain, oral thrush, respiratory disorders, head lice, nappy rash, skin disorders, cold sores and fever blisters and many other symptoms.

As we have pointed out above it really is a challenge to administer many different medications to our children. In most cases the children will find swallowing tablets or capsules very difficult, especially if they have to take more then one lot of medications. In order to over come this difficult task again your pediatrician and compounding pharmacist can work closely to develop and prepare medications in alternate dosage forms which your child won’t mind taking. These include chewable lozenges, syrups, ice blocks, lollipops, transdermal gels, suspensions and pacifier dosages for the infants. All these can be flavored in for even easier administering purposes by us at your request.

All children in our society are unique hence it is a challenge for the health professionals to find the most suitable medication or our children. It is vital that this task is undertaken as each child requires individual attention as well as requiring the mot suitable medication form, a compounding pharmacist plays a vital role in helping in formulating a medication which comes in exact dose needed for a child of a certain age and size.

All our children deserve the best treatment for their well being, at Farmacologica  Compounding Pharmacy we are pleased to cater for the needs of your children.
