Taking the stress out of medication

“What can I do to get my child to take his/her medication?”

Our children’s health is of vital importance to all of us. When our children are sick, whether it be a flu or a chronic illness, it impacts the quality of life for everyone in the family. In some cases, the administration of their medication is harder on the parent than the actual illness itself! Compounding is a solution that many parents have found to be the answer to this common problem.

Pharmacy Compounding is the art and science of preparing customized medications for patients. We understand that every situation is unique and so are your children. We can customize your child’s medication to best fit your child and it helps to eliminate the stress and frustration of administration. Our Compounding Pharmacists can factor in your child’s sex, weight and age as well as any allergies like gluten-free, sugar-free, casein-free, soy-free, or dye-free.

We can provide your medication in many forms:

Suckers/Gummies

Flavoring Medications

Liquids/Suppositories

Creams/Topical Gels

And more!

At Carstairs and Didsbury Pharmasave, we understand that having a sick child in the home is hard enough. With the help of our Compounding Team, we can help make the whole experience that much easier!
