Children

One of the most difficult things to do as a parent is to give medication to a child. Each child is highly unique, so sometimes one pill size, dosage form, or flavor may not suit them. When dealing with commercially available medications, differences in size, weight, allergies and drug tolerance are not taken into consideration. Central Drugs is able to aid in formulating a medication that will meet the needs of a child. By working closely with a child's pediatrician, Central Drugs pharmacists can reformulate a medication to the proper strength for a child. Even in the case of a child having a specific allergy to a component of a medication, Central Drugs can breakdown and reformulate a medication to be allergen-free for them.

Many children have difficulty swallowing capsules or tablets. This issue is remedied by working to find alternate dosage forms which will be more convenient for the child to take. Lollipops, syrups, freezer pops, lozenges, gummy candies, and even medicated pacifiers are some of the various ways that a treatment can be presented in. On top of being made available in a different form, flavors can be added to make a medicine more tolerable to taste. This is especially important if a medication needs to be taken for an extended period of time. With over 50 flavors available, Central Drugs can make any medicine taste better!
