Autism presents a multitude of challenges for those who have been diagnosed as well as those who care for them. One challenge of particular concern is the ability to administer medication when needed. People with autism are often sensitive to certain textures, colors, and tastes. In addition, many follow strict dietary guidelines.
Echo Pharmacy has solutions which have proven to ease the administration of medication to people with autism. Unlike most pharmacy's, Echo Pharmacy has the ability to compound medications to the specific need of the patient. Medications can be made into topical creams which are absorbed into the skin and then absorbed into the bloodstream. This is an ideal solution for a person who can not swallow a pill or refuses to do so. To address the dietary concerns, Echo Pharmacy can make the medications sugar free, dye free, preservative free, and gluten free. Flavoring may also be used to tailor the medication to the patient's taste.
Daily life is filled with enough challenges. Let us help make one part of the day easier! Come into Echo Pharmacy and speak with one of our pharmacist's to learn more about compounding medications for a person with autism.
