Spin the "Wheel of Yuck" to learn which flavor best masks the taste of erythromycin,
a popular (but untasty) antibiotic often prescribed for children.
Add a drop or two of watermelon, orange or grape flavoring, and the medicine goes down a lot
easier. That's the thinking behind FLAVORiT, a new at-home flavoring system distributed by
FLAVORx, the company that introduced flavors for pharmacists to mix into children's medicine
about 10 years ago.
The mix-it-yourself kit includes four popular flavors: orange, grape, watermelon and bubblegum,
plus a sweetening enhancer.
If you want help figuring out which flavoring agents work best with which medicines (from
Augmentin to Zithromax,) check out the company's online Wheel of Yuck
at www.flavorx.com. The wheel matches medicines with all 42
of the company's flavors, not just the four in the at-home kit. Fort Worth area Wal-Mart stores
sell the kits for $9.98.
