Autism Spectrum Disorders
Personalized Medication Options for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
At Boudreaux’s New Drug Store, we recognize the unique healthcare needs of individuals on the autism spectrum and are committed to providing customized solutions that may help make accessing and taking medications easier. For many individuals with autism, standard medications may present challenges due to sensitivities, specific ingredient needs, or difficulty with certain dosage forms. As a compounding pharmacy, we have the flexibility to personalize medications to meet these specific needs.

Compounding Pharmacy Solutions for Individuals on the Autism Spectrum
Individuals on the autism spectrum may require various medications or supplements to address behavioral, digestive, sleep, and nutritional concerns. Standard, commercially available medications can sometimes include ingredients or dosages that aren’t well-suited for sensitive individuals. Compounding allows us to adjust ingredients, flavors, and dosages, offering medications that are precisely formulated to each individual’s needs or preferences.
How Compounding Helps Support Patients with Autism
Customized Dosage Forms
Taking medication can be challenging for individuals with autism, especially for those who have sensory sensitivities
Elimination of Problematic Ingredients
Many commercially available medications contain dyes, preservatives, and fillers that may cause adverse reactions or sensory discomfort. Compounding allows us to eliminate these ingredients and replace them with more tolerable alternatives.
Customized Strengths and Dosages
Standard medications come in limited dosage options, which may not always be suitable for individuals with autism. Through compounding, we can tailor the dosage to meet the precise needs of each patient.
Specialized Nutritional Supplements
Individuals with autism may benefit from specific nutritional supplements to support overall health, address deficiencies, or help enhance cognitive function. We provide professional-grade supplements to help a well-rounded approach to health and wellness.
We offer a range of dosage forms, including:
Flavored or Unflavored Liquids
For easier administration and customizable taste profiles
Transdermal Gels
Applied to the skin, these bypass oral administration, making it a suitable alternative for individuals with aversions to oral medications
Chewable Tablets or Troches
For those who may prefer or need a chewable option
Suppositories
Sometimes appropriate when oral administration isn’t feasible
Partnering with Providers and Families
We collaborate with healthcare providers and family members to ensure that each compounded medication or supplement aligns with the patient’s health goals and sensitivities. Through open communication and compassionate care, we strive to create a seamless experience from prescription to administration.
