Pediatric Compounding
Getting children to take their medicine isn’t always easy. Many young patients struggle with the taste, texture, or form of commercial medications—and in some cases, the exact strength or medication they need isn’t even available. That’s where pediatric compounding makes all the difference.
At Las Colinas Pharmacy, we work with parents and pediatricians to prepare customized medications for children.
Common Pediatric Conditions We Help Treat
Compounded medications can play an important role in managing a wide variety of children’s health conditions, including:
- Ear, nose, and throat infections (ear infections, sinusitis, strep throat)
- Skin conditions such as eczema, diaper rash, and warts
- Asthma and allergies
- Reflux and gastrointestinal issues (GERD, nausea, vomiting, constipation)
- Attention and behavioral concerns (ADHD, sleep disturbances)
- Pain and fever management
- Seizure disorders
- Nutritional deficiencies (high-quality vitamins and supplements)
Why Pediatric Compounding?
Children are not just “small adults.” Their bodies process medications differently, and their treatments often need to be adjusted by age, weight, and developmental needs. With compounding, we can:
- Prepare customized doses for infants, toddlers, and children
- Add kid-friendly flavors like bubblegum, tutti-frutti, strawberry, or grape
- Change medications into easier forms such as liquids, lollipops, gummies, or topical gels
- Eliminate allergens or irritants such as dyes, gluten, or lactose
- Combine multiple medications into a single, more convenient dose
By tailoring treatment, we make it easier for kids to take their medicine, and for parents to feel confident about giving it.
Common Pediatric Compounded Treatments
Some examples of customized medications we can prepare for children include:
- Antibiotics in flavored liquid form for ear, sinus, or throat infections
- Topical creams and ointments for eczema, diaper rash, and other skin irritations
- Inhalation or nasal preparations for asthma or allergies
- Oral suspensions for reflux, nausea, or GI concerns
- Chewables, gummies, or lollipops for kids who resist pills
- Suppositories for patients unable to take medications orally
- High-quality vitamins and nutritional supplements to support healthy growth
Common Pediatric Compounded Treatments
We know how stressful it can be when a child refuses or can’t tolerate their medicine. That’s why our team partners closely with pediatricians to design compounded solutions. Our goal is to help children get the care they need.
