Today, we received a prescription from a provider in Apple Valley —
for an 8-year-old girl.

The medication?
Terbinafine 25 mg/mL liquid

And just like many pediatric cases…
It doesn’t exist commercially.

No liquid.
No easy option.
No simple solution for a child.

The provider knew exactly what to do.
They didn’t send it to a chain pharmacy.
They sent it to us.

Because they knew:
✔️ We can compound it
✔️ We can adjust the exact strength
✔️ We can make it into a liquid a child can actually take

What is Terbinafine?

Terbinafine is an antifungal medication used to treat:
✔️ Scalp fungal infections (tinea capitis)
✔️ Skin fungal infections
✔️ Nail infections (in adults)

For kids, especially with scalp infections,
it’s often necessary — not optional.

But here’s the challenge:
👉 Tablets are the only commercial form
👉 And most children can’t swallow tablets

💧 That’s where compounding changes everything.

We prepare Terbinafine liquid (25 mg/mL) that is:
✔️ Precisely dosed for the child’s weight
✔️ Easy to measure
✔️ Flavored for better compliance
✔️ Made fresh and safe

The most meaningful part?

This wasn’t even a local patient.
She lives in Apple Valley — miles away.

But her provider trusted us enough to say:
👉 “Send it to Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy.”

Because sometimes, the right pharmacy isn’t the closest one —
it’s the one that can actually solve the problem. 

👉 If your child is prescribed a medication that doesn’t come in liquid form, we can compound it and ship it directly to your home — anywhere in California.

Until tomorrow,
