Better outcomes through higher adherence

As the value of good, quality health care focused on better patient outcomes increases, so does the role of today’s Pharmacy Schools.  You know this better than anyone.  Your students will soon be on the front-lines, facing a host of real world challenges.  One of the more important of these will be patient adherence with the medications being dispensed.  When people don’t take their medication in the amount prescribed and at the intervals prescribed, it can lead to poor outcomes.  This puts a huge strain on our health care system – to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars every year. 

Higher adherence through flavoring

Within the context of improving patient adherence, flavoring of medications plays a crucial role.  By making liquid medications more palatable, your future pharmacists will be helping patients take their medication as prescribed, alleviating the anxiety and difficulty many people have swallowing medicine.  That’s good for the patient and good for the community.

Flavoring medication with FLAVORx

Flavoring medication has been around since the dawn of pharmacy.  Many of the earliest preparations came in liquid or chewable forms.  And many of those preparations were flavored, using tree bark oils or fruit juices, to hide bitter tastes.  FLAVORx has brought the art and science of flavoring into the 21st Century.  Over 40,000 pharmacies now offer FLAVORx as a service to their customers.   By integrating a medicinal flavoring component into your curriculum, you’ll provide your students with the knowledge and skills they’ll need when they go into practice.
