Wouldn’t it be great if your medicine tastes like blueberry cheesecake?
The pharmaceutical world has developed a state-of-the-art innovation of medication flavoring. This aims to help patients, especially children to drink their medicine minus all the fuss.
Here are 5 of the biggest questions about medication flavoring:
Medication flavoring is a pharmaceutical process that masks the unpleasant taste in medicines. The goal is to fool your taste buds with your favorite fruity flavors including strawberry, peach, watermelon, raspberry, orange and grape. Other flavors made in your favorite concoctions, such as; eggnog, mint chocolate chips, vanilla butternut, butterscotch and tutti frutti.
Children’s taste buds are more sensitive when they are sick. It terrifies them to know that they need to drink bitter-tasting medicines and for most kids, swallowing tablets can be difficult.
Here are some frequently flavored medications:
The practice of medication flavoring has long been an integral part of pharmaceutical and compounding services. Flavor substances used for medications are FDA-approved. This ensures that you are taking safe and effective medications minus the unpleasant taste.
Anyone can have their medication compounded with the flavor they like. Flavoring makes it easier for children, adults and even senior patients to take their medication. This can also help patients with taste sensitivity to drinking their medication without being stressed about the bitter-taste.
