FLAVORx is a pharmaceutical flavoring system designed to improve the palatability of medications, particularly for children. The system allows pharmacists to add custom flavors to liquid medications, making them more appealing and easier to ingest.

History[edit | edit source]

FLAVORx was founded in 1994 by Kenny Kramm, who sought to create a solution for his daughter’s difficulty in taking her prescribed medications. The company has since grown to partner with numerous pharmacies across the United States and other countries.

Functionality[edit | edit source]

FLAVORx works by providing a range of flavoring agents that can be mixed with liquid medications. Pharmacists use a proprietary system to determine the appropriate flavor and concentration based on the medication and patient preferences. The system includes a variety of flavors such as bubblegum, grape, and cherry.

Applications[edit | edit source]

FLAVORx is primarily used in pediatric medicine but is also applicable for adults and pets who have difficulty taking medications due to taste. The system is used in various settings, including community pharmacies, hospital pharmacies, and veterinary practices.

Benefits[edit | edit source]

The primary benefit of FLAVORx is improved medication adherence. By making medications more palatable, patients are more likely to take their prescribed doses consistently. This is particularly important in pediatric patients, where medication adherence can be a significant challenge.
