Flavouring liquid medicines to make them taste better
February 1998
Here's a great idea. Some pharmacists are now flavouring liquid medicines to make them taste better.
Just a few drops of concentrated flavouring can improve or change the taste. This is a big hit with children...and some older adults who have to take liquid meds.
Kids like to pick out their own flavour. And many parents are happy to pay an extra $2 to $5...because it's easier to give the medicine to their child.
