FLAVORx is a company that specializes in providing flavoring systems for medications. The company was founded in 1994 by Kenny Kramm and is headquartered in Columbia, Maryland. FLAVORx aims to improve the palatability of medications, particularly for pediatric patients, by offering a variety of flavors that can be added to liquid medications.
History[edit | edit source]
FLAVORx was established in 1994 when Kenny Kramm sought a solution to help his daughter take her medication. The company developed a system that allows pharmacists to add flavors to liquid medications, making them more appealing to children and other patients who have difficulty swallowing unpleasant-tasting medicine.
Products[edit | edit source]
FLAVORx offers a range of flavors that can be used to customize the taste of liquid medications. These flavors are designed to be safe and effective, ensuring that the medication's efficacy is not compromised. The company provides training and support to pharmacists to help them implement the flavoring system in their pharmacy practice.
Impact[edit | edit source]
The introduction of FLAVORx's flavoring system has had a significant impact on medication adherence, particularly among children. By improving the taste of medications, FLAVORx helps reduce the struggle that parents and caregivers face when administering medicine to children. This can lead to better health outcomes and increased satisfaction for both patients and healthcare providers.
