FLAVORx & Kids

Back in your grandmother’s day, there was a common belief that the worse a medicine tasted, the better it worked.  Today, we know that simply isn’t true.  In fact, the worse a medicine tastes, the harder it is to get kids to take it.  And if they don’t take their medicine, it won’t work at all.  So, you try every way you can think of to get them to swallow the unpleasant preparations that will help them get better. 

Over time, you may have tried pleading, threats, and even bribery.  But no matter what you do or say, it’s a battle to get your children to take some of the medicines your doctor prescribes for them. 

Your PROfile Pharmacist has the solution to your problem.  We have a service available that can reduce the bitterness and improve the taste of medications. With the help of FLAVORx, getting your kids to take their medicine won’t have to be a battle.

What is FLAVORx?
FLAVORx is a system that permits your PROfile Pharmacist to change the taste of a medication.  This isn’t as easy as it sounds, because not just any flavouring product can be used.  Some flavouring agents can affect the medicine, changing the way it works in the body.  The materials used in the FLAVORx system have been rigorously tested to ensure that they will not interact with the medicine, and yet will make the taste pleasing to children.  Because not all kids like the same things, FLAVORx is available in a number of different flavours.

When children take their medicine on time, every time, it helps them get better faster.  And that’s good news for everyone.

If you are having trouble getting your children to take their medicine, ask your PROfile Pharmacist about the FLAVORx system.
