Guest guest Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hi , Hmmm.... I only know about compounding for vitamins, and they are oral form. Don't see why can't do the same for an ssri. May depend on particular ssri though, and form it comes in, as some are capsules, not to be opened. Have you tried contacting a compounding pharmacist yet? Or perhaps you can contact the maker of prozak to see options of forms it can come in, Eli Lilly. You'd think they would have come across this before, for kids in particular. If it is in tablet form, and can be ground up, then you could mix it in maple syrop, or juice or whatever. Last thought, contact children's hospital and ask to speak with their pharmacist - usually have a special name, can't think of right now, but person who handles all the prescriptions distributed in the hospital, not just pharmacist. Hopefully others have ideas. Warmly, Barb > > I know there are parents out there who use compounding pharmacies. I need some direction...my son will not swallow pills, nor will he take liquid medicines. I had heard there are pharmacies that will compound Prozac into chewable or even gummy bear form. But we just visited the psychiatrist and were told that the compounding pharmacies he knows of can compound only to rectal suppository form. > > Do any of you have experience with compounding Prozac (or another medication) and can share your experiences with me?
