Medicating paediatric patients can be challenging as most children resist oral medicines due to the taste. Others find it difficult to swallow pills or are afraid of injections. In addition, most commercially medications come in adult strengths.
At Amber, we create custom paediatric dosages in the appropriate dosage form, including suspensions and solutions, in various flavours to combat this.
Sometimes, a commercially available medication that has proven effective in treating a specific health condition may be discontinued, recalled, or out of stock. When this happens, we can compound based on a prescription to facilitate continued patient care.
