Just a spoon full of non dairy ice cream makes the medicine go down

[Guest guest]

Tammy,

This is how I got my son to take meds. I would mix the crushed medicine in

Mocha Mix non-dairy ice cream or sorbet and put it on a teaspoon. (The

Mocha Mix Ice Cream is in with the other ice creams at stores here.) Then I

would give it to my son and follow it with a water chaser. Frozen foods

tend to make your taste buds not as sensitive.

When he was older this is how I taught him to take pills. I would cut the

pills into small pieces and surround them in the ice cream and put them on a

spoon. Once again follow it with a water chaser. Eventually when he was

ready, we eliminated the ice cream.

Hope this helps!

I can imaging that crushing tablets and putting them in the food can be very

frustrating and error prone.

We get all our medications compounded. For example, for the Valtrex we bring

the tablets to our local compounding pharmacy and they compound them into

liquid. The same thing for all the other medications. That way I know for sure

how much of each medication I giving my son.

I am sure that not everybody has compounding pharmacies as close to where they

live as I do. So I was thinking that there should be online compounding

pharmacy available and I found the following one.

I am sure there are more out there. Google for " online compounding pharmacies "

and you will find others too.

In my case, I just don't want to go to the process of having to crush pills and

don't know if I am giving my son the right dose of the medications. Especially

when our kiddos receive such small doses of some medications and we all know

that the slightest change in the dose could be the difference of the medication

working or not.

I prefer spending my time in the morning making breakfast for my family than

crushing pills.

Take care,

I forgot to mention that if you want to save in shipping and handling you can

probably get 3 months of the medication compounded at once instead of 1 month

supply. Just an idea...

Just FYI - my youngest swallowed pills his first try and for ever more (he takes

them all at one time - amazing) when he was 2.  His brother wasn't yet 4 when

they learned.  It was truly up there as one of the happiest days of my life!

lol.  Only you moms who have been crushing and mixing pills and pleading to get

your kids to take them could understand how such a thing can rate so high on the

big day lists.

Wish I would have thought of compounding! Everyday I was washing the dye off of

Valtrex, cutting it in half, grinding it and putting it in a spoonfull of

applesauce 3 times a day for months!

Oh wait...I learned recently that Valtrex wasn't available yet for compounding,

and that is what most kids are on today.

We use fruit sauce. Either Apple or Pear. I put pills inside the sauce and

give him. He just swallows them.
