Compounding for Patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
For many individuals with ASD, sensory sensitivities can make taking medication a real challenge, whether it’s the taste, texture, or difficulty swallowing pills. That’s where compounding can make a difference. 💊
Our pharmacists can work with prescribers to create personalized medications that fit each patient’s needs, including:
- Flavored oral liquids – custom taste options to make medicine time easier
- Chewables or gummies – tailored flavors and textures for better acceptance
- Rapid-dissolve tablets – no swallowing required
- Sprinkle capsules or powder packets – mix with food or drinks
- Nasal sprays – eliminate swallowing altogether for certain medications
- Transdermal creams or gels – absorbed through the skin when oral options aren’t possible
Compounding offers flexibility and comfort for patients who may struggle with traditional medication forms, helping make treatment a little smoother for both patients and caregivers.
