almost daily since 1999

 

“Founded in 1995, FLAVORx is on a mission to take the yuck out of medicine.” I heard about this on NPR (while I was driving of course since I always hear the interesting stuff when I’m unable to take notes). Luckily Mike Gunderloy linked to it. The creator of FLAVORx developed the system when his baby girl had trouble taking 4 daily doses of yucky medicine. When he made the medication more palatable her condition finally improved. The flavors have no sugars or dyes, and little or no alcohol so they do not alter the medications. There’s a selection of sweet and savory flavors such as bubblegum, watermelon, tangy apple, bacon, cheddar, angus beef, and roasted lamb. Veterinarians can use the flavorings for animals. Over 2000 pharmacies in the United States, Canada, the Bahamas, Australia, and New Zealand have FLAVORx available.
