“I love this stuff because it works. I used the Strawberry FLAVORx flavor when I was younger and it helped so much when I took liquid medication. But I take swallowers [pills] now.”

“Last March my son was diagnosed with a form of leukemia. He had six months of rigorous chemotherapy. They sent us home from the hospital with a protocol we had to follow where he had to take nightly pills. He was only five years old and could not swallow pills, so we crushed them up and gave them to him. This would cause him to gag and throw up. Each evening, several hours before he was to take the medicine, he would start to get nauseous in anticipation. This was exasperating as parents: to watch our son, who had been through so much, being traumatized by one more thing. We had heard about a pharmacy that could make tablets into liquid and flavor it in my son’s choice of flavors, so we decided to give it a try. He picked bubblegum for one, banana for another and apple/watermelon for another. Now he takes them with no problems. It is wonderful for us because we know he is getting all of his medication; before there was always the question of how much he was actually getting. It has changed the quality of our lives and especially our son’s life. I think every pediatrician and hospital should have this available to patients.”

“In the field of pediatrics, compliance, when it comes to medicating children, is one of the most difficult issues. I usually give antibiotics for a full ten-day course. If it is bad tasting, you end up with many children not taking every dose in its entirety or taking a shorter course. Sometimes this is not enough to eradicate the infection in the child. This is a dangerous situation because you can get worse infections superimposed on already untreated ones. Getting a full ten days of a bad tasting antibiotic in a child used to be extremely difficult. Now this is remedied with FLAVORx, which offers a variety of flavors children like and choose for themselves. Now, we rarely have children who don’t finish their ten days.”

“Thank you very much for helping a ‘special needs’ baby and his parents. My daughter’s baby boy was born with a condition that required his food and phenobarbital to be administered by a feeding tube. Eventually he was able to take breast milk without tube, but not the phenobarbital because of the unpleasant taste. After reading an article in the newspaper, I contacted you and you gave me several names of pharmacists to contact in the Pittsburgh area where my daughter lives. This story has a happy ending. The baby has been without the feeding tube, taking his banana flavored phenobarbital, and is a happier baby without the discomfort of the tube in his throat. This parent and grandmother are happier to see Z’s life made easier.”

“I love the idea of making medicine easier for sick children to take. We need all the help we can get…”

“My child has a seizure disorder and was supposed to take Zarontin liquid. It was horrible tasting: I tasted it. We could not get her to keep it down. This medication was crucial to her survival. We knew if she did not keep it down she would end up in the hospital. We then heard about FLAVORx and tried it. It was a miracle! Now she takes her medicine just as the doctor directed.”
