Pediatric Compounding

When your child is sick, you often wish you could take on his or her illness yourself. Few things are more frustrating for parents, or induce as much anxiety, as a sniffling, coughing little boy or girl. Often, the process of getting your child to take medications only adds to the trauma. That’s where pediatric compounding pharmacies like Carie Boyd’s Prescription Shop come in.

There are plenty of reasons that children have trouble with medications, and as a parent you probably know them all.

Fortunately, Carie Boyd’s Prescription Shop knows them too, and we know what you need:

• You need a pediatric compounding pharmacy to make pills your kids can swallow. Most prescription medications are designed for adults, whose digestive tracts are fully developed. But kids have little throats that might not be prepared for big pills. Carie Boyd’s compounding pharmacists can prepare smaller pills for your child, or a liquid solution.
• You need a pleasant-tasting pediatric compound. A pharmacy that offers only the standard medicines available is a pharmacy that probably offers medicines in two flavors: Sour and bitter. At Carie Boyd’s, we can create prescription medications with a taste your child will love. 
• You need a compounded prescription medication that isn’t too strong for your child. Sometimes the medicine your child needs is only available in adult doses. Breaking up a pill can be dangerous – you run the risk of using too much or not enough. 
• Sometimes, over-the-counter medications don’t provide the relief your child needs. Carie Boyd’s Prescription Shop provides a welcoming environment where you and your child can discuss symptoms and needs with a local compounding pharmacist. 

The pediatric compounding pharmacists at Carie Boyd’s Prescription Shop are here to provide innovative solutions for your family. We’ll turn your child’s medicine into gummi  candies he’ll be eager to take. We’ll develop a diaper rash ointment that binds up the digestive acids that cause redness and irritation. We’ll soothe your child’s sore throat with a lollipop. And if your child still resists taking her medicine, we can turn it into a transdermal gel that can be absorbed through the skin. Just rub it on the wrists or some other thin-skinned area.

Carie Boyd’s Prescription Shop is the premier pediatric compounding pharmacy in the DFW Metroplex.   We’ll contact your medical health professional for refills, so you don’t have to. We’ll transfer prescriptions from other pharmacies. And we’ll work with you and your family to decide what kind of medications are right for you.
