Here in Massachusetts we have a number of pharmacies that will compound medications to make them available in different forms. The discussion about babies and toddlers resisting foul tasting meds reminded me of a patient I sent to one of these pharmacies. She had a toddler with the strength of Atlas and the cunning of a typically breastfed child and could outwit her mother at every turn when it came time for medicine. At the compounding pharmacy the pharmacist had a battery of flavorings, syrups, gel caps, etc and found the taste and the form best suited for this little guy. These are the same pharmacies that can compound oxytocin into a nasal spray for mothers to use with milk ejection problems. I keep a list by the phone of these wonderful resources.
