Doctor-On-Call Referral Service

In a combined effort with Dr. Todd Ochs, we are now able to provide you with prescriptions for four medications proven to be effective for families adopting from China. Many pediatricians will not prescribe the following medicines without meeting the child in person. However, due to professional experience with adopted children in China and internationally, Dr. Ochs is able to prescribe the following medications:

Families who purchase this service will receive a prescription* for:

  • Elimite cream for possible scabies
  • Gentamycin eye drops for conjunctivitis/pink eye
  • Nystatin cream for diaper rash
  • Zithromax antibiotic

*Please note that this service is for the prescription only, not the actual medications. You will need to have the prescriptions filled at your pharmacy.

Dr. Ochs is will be 'on-call" while your family is in China. This means that, if for any reason, you need a physician’s advice or recommendation, Dr. Ochs will be expecting your call.

This service is available for $110. Please contact us at info@icanwaitingchild.org to request more information or to purchase this service.
