Bitter syrups, giant pills, a fear of needles — who can blame a child for resisting taking their medications? When children don't feel well, a parent is often met with stubborn struggles in their caregiving responsibilities. With pint-sized battles waged everyone loses, but it doesn't have to be that way. Imperial Compounding Pharmacy will work with the beleaguered parents and their healthcare practitioner to alleviate the stress. ICP can create an easy-to-use compound tailored for little ones to handle and adults to dispense. For example, a pill can be re-formulated to liquid form. Chewables, topicals, and even lollipops are other effective, child-friendly options. The earlier on in a child's life that the stress of fear and negative experiences is resolved, the better for the child's future healthcare needs.
