Compounding for Autism Spectrum Disorder

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) have special needs, require special diets, and unique medications and therapies. Carie Boyd’s Prescription Shop provides the options and quality that parents, developmental pediatricians and clinical nutritionists need. Pharmaceutical compounding provides solutions to issues that children with ASD encounter regularly. Issues such as finding medications that comply with very restrictive diets, finding dosage forms or flavorings that overcome a child’s inability or unwillingness to take their medications, or finding a trusted source for medications and strengths that are not available commercially. We work closely with the physician in establishing and maintaining therapies that provide positive results for the child and family. Our experienced pharmacists and technicians are available to educate parents on protocols and medications. From metal detoxification or methylcobalamin injections to custom dietary supplements in flavored or unflavored oral suspensions, Carie Boyd Prescription Shop is a valuable part of the child’s healthcare team.

 The following are just some of the problems commonly seen by physicians treating children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders. There are many compounding options available to address these issues.
