Personalised dosing
Australia-wide delivery
We provide compounded medications for children, prepared by our pharmacists based on your doctor’s prescription.
Children often have specific medication needs that differ from adults. Factors such as age, weight, taste preferences, and ability to swallow certain dosage forms can all affect how a medicine is taken and tolerated.
Understanding Paediatric Needs
Administering medication to children can sometimes be challenging. Common issues include:
- Difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules
- Unpleasant taste affecting adherence
- Sensitivity to certain ingredients
- Requirement for weight-based dosing
These factors can make standard, commercially available medicines less suitable. Assessment and prescribing should always be carried out by your doctor.
When Might Compounding Be Considered?
Your doctor may consider compounded medications for a child if:
- A specific dose or strength is required based on weight or age
- A liquid form is needed instead of tablets or capsules
- Flavouring is required to improve palatability
- Certain ingredients (e.g. dyes, lactose, preservatives) need to be avoided
- A medicine is unavailable or unsuitable in standard form
Treatment Approaches
Management of paediatric conditions may include:
- Medications prescribed by a doctor
- Adjustments based on growth and development
- Support to improve adherence and ease of administration
Compounded medications may be prescribed when a personalised approach is required.
How Compounding Can Help
- Customised strengths based on individual needs
- Flavoured formulations to improve acceptance
- Alternative dosage forms suitable for children
- Exclusion of certain ingredients
Available Dosage Forms
- Oral liquids (flavoured)
- Suspensions or solutions
- Capsules (if appropriate)
- Topical preparations
Safety and Quality
At our pharmacy, we follow strict professional standards when preparing compounded medications.
- We source ingredients from reputable suppliers that meet Australian quality standards
- Each formulation is prepared according to established compounding references or your prescriber’s instructions
- Every preparation is checked by a qualified pharmacist before supply
- We follow consistent processes to support accuracy, quality, and safety
Compounded medications are not TGA-registered like standard commercial products. For this reason, it is important they are prepared by an experienced and appropriately trained compounding pharmacy.
