do I need to go to a compounding pharmacy

[Anonymous]

I’m new to all this – So I am sorry that I am asking a question that has probably been answered a hundred times…My daughter is on Protonix for reflux. My ped told me to make sure my pharmacy could fill the prescription since it is a suspension. I went to Walgreen’s and they told me that they are a compounding pharmacy, but that they shake by hand. I didn’t really think anything about it at the time, but now after reading up a little, I am curious if the suspension would be more effective if mixed with a machine??

Someone else had directed me to the prevacid 101 link, but I was unable to find it. Thanks so much for all of your help. It has been so nice to find this site and know that we are not alone.

I use walgreens to fill mine. They don’t have a machine either but i have never had clumps in it. Also before you give a dose you should shake it up really well. If it ever does look all clumpy i would just take it back and make them remix it!
