You'll take the ride to leave this town along that yellow line

Would making and developing such a drug be moral? Would taking it be acceptable?

Why would it not be? Any moral judgement about 'making' something must necessarily be bound up in the process of making that thing - which we have no details about, because this is all hypothetical

Now, imagine that the drug only worked in the formative years. On children, essentially. Would it be acceptable for parents of children experiencing gender dysphoria to give their child the drug?

That's different, and the base question is whether children have agency which can be violated by their parents. I think it's fairly well accepted here that something like gender dysphoria is not some kind of disease like the flu or whatever that can be avoided, so you cannot simply shrug the issue off as dealing with a medical problem.
