Autism
While the etiology of autism remains a mystery, a number of "therapeutic" approaches are being recommended by some physicians.
A physician caring for a child had recommended that any medication taken by the child be free of sugars, preservatives, dyes, gluten and starch. He referred the child's mother to The Medicine Shoppe. His medication was prepared without any of those additives.
As is frequently the case with many autistic children, nutritional intake varies greatly from day to day.
Many parents of autistic children want to give their child multi-vitamin and mineral supplements. However, the child may refuse to take capsules or pills containing the supplements.
Our compounding pharmacists can prepare a multi-vitamin-mineral liquid suspension prescribed by a child's physician that is free of all of the substances that the physician recommends that the child avoid.
