Pediatrics & Teens

Pediatric compounding is an option for helping children and teens get the medications they need in a form that best suits them individually. For example, many medications that may not be available in liquid forms can be compounded into solutions, suspensions, and syrups.

Our Qualifications.
Our pharmacists are Professional Compounding Centers of America certified, ensuring quality control. We even go one step further for our patients and have our compounded prescription sent for analysis to Eagle Analytical Services for purity and consistency.

Compounding Services for Pediatrics & Teens

Below is a description of formulas we frequently compound for children and teens.

  • We can compound cosmetic formulations for alternatives to antimicrobial agents for acne therapy. These compounds contain multiple numerous to provide a synergistic effect for the treatment of resistant acne.

  • Customized diaper rash ointments or creams can be made to treat each child’s specific symptoms. We use ingredients that will protect skin from additional irritations, soothe and prevent further infections.

  • Resistant warts and molluscum are successfully treated with topical compounded medications.

  • Anti-emetics can be hard for a sick child to “keep down”. Even persistent nausea can often be controlled by using a combination to meet an individual’s specific needs.

    Promethazine is often compounded for topical application to treat nausea, vomiting and vertigo.

  • Strawberry Hills Pharmacy has developed a compound for extremely chapped, dry lips.

Compounding Prescriptions

No two people are alike, so why should your prescriptions be the same?
Strawberry Hills Pharmacy specializes in pharmacy compounding,
the art and science of preparing customized medications.

Why Compounding?

Compounding provides solutions to many common prescription drug problems such as allergies to drug elements, sensitivity to drug strength, difficulty swallowing or simply patient preferences. If you aren’t seeing results or think you need a change, ask your healthcare provider if compounding is right for you. With a doctor’s consent, one of our compounding pharmacists will work with you to make a medication that meets your needs and wants.

Is It Safe?

Compounding is completely safe. It has been used by pharmacies since the beginning, but its recent resurgence is due to years of research and continued practice and the advances in technology. The Food and Drug Administration says compounding is both ethical and legal as long as the medications are prescribed by a certified compounder by a licensed pharmacy.

Compounded prescriptions can be personalized for:

  • Strengths (milligrams, micrograms, grams)

  • Dosage

  • Flavors

  • Ingredients to accommodate allergies or other sensitivities: gluten, sugar, lactose, preservatives and dyes

Other reasons that people turn to compounding:

  • Medication upsets stomach

  • Pill is too difficult to swallow

  • Want to take less medication, lose track of pills taken

  • A need for a different dosage than what is available

  • Reluctance to take pill such as children and pets
