This is why we suggest that doctors attach a FLAVORx sticker to any prescriptions that are written for these medications, and that pharmacists recommend FLAVORx for them. We guarantee you won’t be getting those frantic calls from anxious parents who can’t get their children to take their medicine. You’ll rest easier knowing that your patients are taking these medicines in their entirety.
