Today at Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy, a concerned mother called about a new prescription for her toddler.

“Hi Rania, my son’s doctor just switched him to compounded ranitidine syrup for acid reflux. Why not just use the over-the-counter version?”

I reassured her, “That’s a great question. Ranitidine is still a very effective medication for acid reflux and GERD, but the commercial version isn’t always ideal for kids. It’s often too strong, contains preservatives, or flavors that can upset sensitive little stomachs.”

She asked, “So what’s the difference with the compounded version?”

“Our compounded version is specially made to be alcohol-free, dye-free, and preservative-free,” I explained. “We can also adjust the concentration to make it easier to dose based on your child’s exact weight and needs.”

She sighed in relief. “That makes me feel a lot better. He’s so picky about taste.”

“We can even add kid-friendly flavors like grape, bubblegum, or strawberry to make it more palatable,” I added. “Plus, we compound it fresh, so it’s more stable and effective.”

Before she hung up, I reminded her, “Just be sure to shake the bottle well before each dose, and keep it refrigerated for maximum freshness.”

She said, “Thanks, Rania. I’m so glad I called. This sounds like a much better option for him.”

At Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy, we love being able to personalize medications for even our youngest patients—because every child deserves the best possible care.

Until tomorrow,
