Pediatric Compounding
At Thera Peak Pharmacy & Compounding, we understand that children are not simply small adults. Their medical needs require unique solutions that take into account their age, weight, taste preferences, and sensitivities. Pediatric compounding allows us to create customized medications designed to meet the specific needs of your child, making treatment more effective and easier to manage.
What is Pediatric Compounding?
Compounding is the process of preparing personalized medications that are not commercially available or modifying existing medications to better suit an individual patient. For children, this might involve adjusting dosages, changing the form of a medication, or adding flavors to make it more palatable.
Common Pediatric Conditions We Support
Our compounding pharmacy works with healthcare providers to prepare medications for a wide range of pediatric conditions, including:
- Respiratory Issues: Asthma, allergies, and coughs.
- Gastrointestinal Disorders: Acid reflux, colic, and constipation.
- Skin Conditions: Diaper rash, eczema, and warts.
- Infectious Diseases: Antibiotic treatments for bacterial infections, ear infections, or strep throat.
- ADHD and Behavioral Disorders: Customized dosages of prescribed medications to support your child’s specific needs.

Benefits of Pediatric Compounding
Compounding offers unique advantages for children who may struggle with standard medications:
- Custom Dosages: Medications can be adjusted to the exact dose required for your child’s age, weight, and condition.
- Alternative Delivery Methods: For children who have difficulty swallowing pills, we can prepare medications in forms such as liquids, lozenges, lollipops, or topical creams.
- Improved Taste: We can add child-friendly flavors like strawberry, grape, or bubblegum to mask unpleasant tastes.
- Allergen-Free Options: Medications can be prepared without dyes, gluten, lactose, or other allergens to suit your child’s sensitivities.
