Making Medicine a Breeze: Pediatric Solutions at ADKOA Pharmacy
At ADKOA Pharmacy, we understand that getting your child to take medication can be a stressful experience. Picky taste buds and difficulty swallowing can turn medicine time into a battle. That’s why we offer a variety of solutions to make medication administration easier and more pleasant for you and your child.
Turning Frowns Upside Down
We know medicine doesn’t always taste great. At ADKOA Pharmacy, we can help!
- Flavorful Solutions: We offer a variety of safe and delicious flavorings to mask the unpleasant taste of medications. From fruity favorites to chocolatey delights, we can find a flavor your child will enjoy.
- Creative Dosage Forms: Not all medicine must be a bitter pill. We can explore alternative dosage forms that may be easier for your child, such as:
- Lozenges: These slowly dissolving treats can make medication more enjoyable.
- Creams and Ointments: Creams and ointments can be a painless alternative for topical applications.
- Sweetened Liquids: For younger children, specially formulated syrups with pleasant flavors can be easier to administer.
Benefits of Compounded Medications for Pediatrics
Compounded medications offer several advantages for children:
- Improved Taste: Masking unpleasant flavors encourages medication adherence and reduces resistance.
- Easier Dosing: Customizable dosage forms can be tailored to your child’s age and needs.
- Reduced Anxiety: A more pleasant experience can alleviate medication-related anxiety in children.
