Infants and young children require doses based on body size and weight. Not only can we compound a special dosage form but we can also make the exact dose for each child. An example of this is a child having bouts of nausea and vomiting. It is does not take much vomiting to cause dehydration in children and we know that it is next to impossible for them to take oral medications during this time. It may be traumatic for a child to have an injection and it will take much coaxing to try a suppository. At Solutions Specialty, we can compound nausea medication in topical gel form at your child’s exact dose. Other specialized dosage forms include flavored oral solutions and suspensions, topical liquids, creams and ointments, suppositories and inhalations.
Call Solutions Specialty Pharmacy at 702-792-3777 and speak with one of our pharmacists to discuss an alternative dosage form or a palatable medication for your child and patient.
