Pediatric compounding helps when a child's prescription is not available in an age-appropriate dose, contains an allergen, or is too difficult for the child to take. Use this page to find pharmacies that prepare pediatric formulations on a per-prescription basis.
Pediatric compounding addresses three common problems: dosing that does not exist commercially, ingredients a child cannot tolerate, and formulations that are too hard for a child to take. Compounding pharmacies prepare flavored suspensions, dye-free and preservative-free formulations, and weight-based dosing in coordination with the prescriber.
Common pediatric requests include flavored oral suspensions, allergen-free reformulations, custom strengths for infants, and alternative delivery methods when an oral tablet or capsule is not realistic for the patient.
Always begin with a pediatric prescription from the child's prescriber. Use the listings below to find pharmacies, then confirm directly that they can prepare the specific medication, strength, and dosage form your prescriber has written.
