Pharmaceutical Flavorings / Medication Flavor Improvement

The FLAVORx™ Flavor System is used by over Pharmacists nationwide to customize the flavor of prescription and over-the-counter medicines. With our special Bitterness Suppressor, Sweetening Enhancer and a blend of natural and artificial flavors, Pharmacists add a little fun to the process of getting better while masking the unpleasant taste that normally discourages you or your child from taking medicine. One important thing to keep in mind. While our child-approved flavors will help the medicine go down, there's no mistaking them for candy. That means you'll have peace of mind knowing your child will still understand the difference between better-tasting FLAVORx™ -enhanced medicines and real sweet treats.

Every day, kids around the world are staying sick longer because they simply can't swallow the bad tasting medicine they need to get well. We believe medicine time shouldn't have to be such a struggle.

That's why we created the FLAVORx Flavoring System, specially designed to make hard-to-take liquid medicine easier to swallow. Our products are non-allergenic, sugar-free, and used by over 35,000 pharmacies nationwide.

And if you're a kid at heart, not necessarily in years, we can help you too. Just ask your pharmacist about flavoring your medicine the next time you drop off a prescription. Adults deserve good tasting medicine just as much as children.

We're parents too. So we understand first- hand the importance of taste when it comes to your child's medicine. Unfortunately for many kids, the bitterness of their much-needed medications prevents them from taking the recommended dosage they need in order to get better. No drug maker sets out to create a medication that people can't bear to swallow. The reality is flavor and taste are oftentimes an afterthought when drugs are being manufactured. And even when they get it right, everyone has a different sense of taste, so the thinking goes "you can't please them all". That's where we come in.

Our scientifically tested FLAVORx™ Flavoring System is available at pharmacies nationwide and is designed to make any liquid medication easier for your child to take. Using our unique Bitterness Suppressor and Sweetness Enhancer, Pharmacists mask the unpleasant flavor associated with many prescription and over-the-counter liquid medications. And with our wide assortment of kid-approved flavors, your child (with the help of the Pharmacist) can customize their medicine to suit their individual tastes.

While it's true a lot of what we do is naturally focused towards children, if you're an adult who struggles taking liquid medications, we can help you too. Just ask your pharmacist the next time you drop off a prescription.

These are the most commonly used prescription and OTC liquid medications - all great candidates for flavoring:

Additionally, children have a heightened sense of taste for bitterness compared to adults. Many medicines, because of their powerful underlying ingredients, have a very bitter taste. This makes them especially hard for children to take. That's why pharmacists and pediatricians recommend adding FLAVORx™ to the following liquid medications.
