Kids

Even the most well-behaved kids can cause parents to stress out when giving medication. Sometimes, the medications being given are made for adults, not kids! From bad smells and flavours, colouring and fillers through to the drama of trying to help them swallow a pill for the first time, parents have it rough.

East Coast Compounding can take so much stress out of giving medicine to your kids. We work with parents, carers and doctors to:

  • Change flavours to something they will actually enjoy 
  • Change dosage forms from tablets and capsules to creams or tasty liquids
  • Remove any unnecessary fillers and colouring
  • Create medication that is a suitable strength for children

Case Studies

Many people have issues finding medication that is free of gluten,  sugar, lactose and colouring or obtaining vegan & vegetarian friendly options.

The Problem

Jack and Jill over the years have noticed that their son, Mike, is very difficult to deal with when it comes to giving medicine. 

Not only is Mike celiac, but sugar and certain colouring in medication make him very hyperactive. Mike also hates the taste of certain medicines, so when his parents find something that fits the bill, he may still refuse to take it.

The East Coast Solution

At East Coast Compounding, we are able to formulate something that Mike enjoy’s the taste of. This keeps his parents sane too because their son isn’t bouncing off the walls!

We are able to create medicine free of gluten, lactose, colouring and sugar while still allowing Mike choose from a wide range of different flavours that can mask the horrible taste of certain medication.

Don’t think you are limited to liquids either! We can make effervescent powders, flavoured gummies and even preparations that can be applied to the skin and absorbed through the body!
