Compounded Solutions for Patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Children with autism and parents of children with autism have many obstacles and difficulties with medication delivery. Some of these obstacles include sensory difficulties such as smell, taste, and texture sensitivities. Many patients have food and chemical allergies and intolerances and the avoidance of artificial dyes, fillers, gluten, soy, casein, sugar, and other substances is necessary.
Now, with the help of Pavilion Compounding Pharmacy, medication delivery does NOT have to be an obstacle! With our expertise and experience, we offer solutions to many of the problems patients with Autism encounter.
What can we do to help?
Pavilion’s pharmacists can improve the taste of medications using all NATURAL dye free flavors and sweeteners. We can customize medications to avoid allergies and harmful dyes and preservatives.
Additionally, Pavilion Compounding Pharmacy can change the dosage form altogether to avoid smell, taste, and texture sensitivities. Some common dosage forms we make available include capsules, creams, gels, nasal sprays, lollipops, troches, popsicles, suspensions, solutions, suppositories, injectables , and oral effervescent powder packs.
Commonly requested formulations for patients with Autism Spectrum disorder
Glutathione, melatonin, low dose naltrexone, amantadine, guanfacine, nystatin, fluconazole, methylated vitamins, fluoxetine, oxytocin, and methylcobalamin are commonly requested formulations.
Pavilion also carry a full line of pharmaceutical grade nutritional supplements specifically for patients with Autism. Autistic patients have been shown to have lower serum levels of magnesium, absorption issues with fat-soluble vitamins, and an imbalance of the normal bacteria in the intestinal tract. Ask us about our high potency probiotics, magnesium, and methylated vitamins.
