You can get one at any pharmacy and I am sure big box stores like Walmart would have them too. If you can't find them ask your pharmacist.

Personally, I would avoid the use of something like that. If you need to give medicine to an infant or toddler who cannot swallow from a spoon, use an eyedropper to dispense the proper amount of medication directly into the child's mouth.

I realize these are supposed to be safe for the child and convenient for the parent, but in my opinion if the child habitually relies on a pacifier and you should happen to leave a medicine dispensing pacifier within reach, your child could wind up accidentally taking an overdose of medication ~ which could make him seriously ill or even kill him.

Before you dismiss the possibility, just remember: History is full of instances where people said, "That could never happen!"

I agree with Jk.  Do not rely on a pacifier to dispense medication to any child. Not only could a child overdose, if they were to get hold on that on their own, they may not get the correct dosage.  Bad idea...avoid it.
