Children's Health

How many times  have you spent the night beside a child’s bed, checking his temperature, listening to a cough or wheeze or just waiting for the next breath? Our children and their health will always be a reason to search out new information and options.

Thrifty Pharmacy can make life a little easier in many ways. Analgesics and antibiotics that require a "team" of people to give to a five year old can be flavored with bubblegum, tutti frutti, cherry, or other flavors. Pediatric dosing bottles can provide a convenient way to include medication in a child’s drink bottle. Premature apnea therapy can be compounded to treat your newborn. Strep throat and tonsillitis becomes easier to live with if you have medicated lollipops and gelatin troches. Diaper rash treatments, popsicles, pediatric suppositories and much more can make our lives and the lives of our children healthier. Talk to your pediatrician and then call Thrifty Pharmacy.
