Pediatric Compounding

At Cohen Tenoudji Pharmacy, we understand that caring for children often requires extra creativity, patience, and compassion — especially when it comes to medications. Many children struggle with the taste, texture, or dosage forms of commercially available medications, making it difficult for parents to manage treatment at home. That’s where pediatric compounding makes a meaningful difference.

 

Compounding allows our pharmacists to work closely with your child’s healthcare provider to create customized medications tailored to your child’s unique needs and preferences. By adjusting the flavour, form, or strength of medications, we may help make treatment easier and more comfortable for your child.
