Zithromax/ compounding pharmacy

[Guest guest]

We are considering using Zithromax oral suspension to treat Strep

infections. Has any one had this compounded to avoid yucky stuff such

as sucrose, FD & C Red #40, artificial cherry, vanilla, banana

flavorings, etc? Or, perhaps compounding in your own desire

flavorings, xylitol, stevia? If you have this done, please share with

me which compounding pharmacies you use and/or if they bill the

insurance for you.

We have been using Hopewell Pharmacy to compound B12 injections, and

Hopewell bills our insurance directly. I am not sure if they can

compound Alinia and Zithromax with a list of inactive ingredients I

like and would like to explore different options for experienced

compounding pharmacies popularly used in the ASD community. Thanks you.
