Compounded Medications for Autism / ASD at Clark Professional Pharmacy

A compounding pharmacy for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Our compounding pharmacy offers a vast amount of options for customization of medications and nutritional therapy taking into account the needs of each individual. We can compound medications and supplements without gluten, casein, lactose, soy, and other ingredients that could potentially make Autism Spectrum Disorder, or ASD, symptoms worse.

Additionally, medications could be compounded into different methods of administration. For example, a medication typically administered as a suspension could be compounded into a suppository or a topical cream for patients not able or wanting to take it orally.

How Can We Help?

We can work with you to customize your child’s medications and overcome the obstacles to deliver that medication or nutritional supplements.

What are some of the obstacles to medication delivery for individuals with autism?

Sensory difficulties, such as smell, taste and texture sensitivities
Food and chemical allergies and intolerances
Typically less food variety and more food choices based on texture than children without autism
Often special diets to help with symptoms of autism

How Can Clark Pharmacy Help?

Avoiding offensive taste by using a unique dosage form is one option. More specifically, we can:

Improve the taste of a suspension with sweeteners and flavors
Potentially avoid harmful dyes or additives
Reduce the texture of a suspension by homogenization or milling
