FLAVORx

Flavoring is key to ensuring a successful treatment program for animals because the process overcomes many of the issues associated with hard to medicate pets. Pills, capsules, and the bitter taste of many medications often hinder a pet’s recovery by reducing compliance. Owners struggle to dose animals, and animals have difficulty swallowing medications, making for an unfortunate combo when it comes to giving pets much-needed prescriptions. Flavoring not only improves the medication’s taste and smell, but also converts medications to a more readily accepted liquid form without affecting efficacy.

A survey of over 300 veterinary clinics nationwide proved that veterinarians understand the struggle that pets, and their owners, often endure when given difficult-to-swallow medications. The veterinary pharmacies and clinics that use FLAVORx find the system simple and easy, as well as a method to enhance care programs for owners and their four-legged patients.

Dr. Joel Ehrenzweig, Vice President of the FLAVORx Veterinary Division, was not surprised to find similarities between the veterinary and pediatric medications most commonly flavored. “The bottom line is, a bad tasting medication is a bad tasting medication, regardless of what kind of patient you are,” says Ehrenzweig.

FLAVORx is a pharmaceutical flavoring system used by pharmacists and veterinarians nationwide to improve the palatability of liquid over-the-counter and prescription medications. To date, FLAVORx has flavored over 40 million prescriptions without any incidence of allergy, adverse reaction or changes in efficacy. FLAVORx flavors are non-allergenic, dye-free, sugar-free, phosphate-free and alcohol-free, making them safe for all patients. With over 42 flavors ranging from Bubblegum and Watermelon to Chocolate Silk Pie and Peaches ‘n Cream, FLAVORx is sure to please any taste bud whether it’s a child or an adult. In addition, 16 animal-inspired flavors such as Crispy Bacon and Salmon Steak help medications go down a little easier for FLAVORx’s veterinary friends as well.
