When pharmacies first began offering FLAVORx in 1995, a systematic way to custom flavor medications was new to the world of retail pharmacy. The process took time and concentration, but once we saw how much flavoring could help children's health, we knew it was a worthwhile mission. That's why we've dedicated the past 28 years to making flavoring medications as easy as possible for pharmacy professionals. Here's a look at how the flavoring process has evolved over the years:

Wow, we can’t believe that we’re celebrating our 25th anniversary! That’s two and a half decades of easier medicine-time for kids and families, and we couldn’t be happier to be able to help. A lot has changed since we got started in 1995, so here’s a look back at how the face of FLAVORx has changed over the years. We’ve sure come a long way!

Pharmacies have always held a vital place in their communities, but during the COVID-19 pandemic these essential businesses have shown what a unique role they fill for so many people. Throughout rapidly changing circumstances, they have not only adapted, but have stepped up to provide extra support for those who need it.

During these tough times, pharmacies have shown how truly committed they are to customer care. They’ve not only taken extra steps to ensure patients can safely have access to necessary medications and healthcare, but they’ve expanded their duties to include providing hard-to-find supplies to customers and first responders as well as administering COVID-19 tests.

 
Adapting to the New Normal

A trip to the pharmacy sure doesn’t look the way it did a few months ago. Throughout the spread of the pandemic, the CDC has implemented a series of guidelines specifically for pharmacies to help reduce the spread of the virus while these businesses remain open. Pharmacies have been urged to limit traffic in the building, so they have adapted by encouraging customers to use curbside, drive-thru, and delivery service. To help people stay home and safe, some pharmacies that charged a fee for delivery service or did not offer the service at all before the pandemic, have begun delivering to customers for free.

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, daily life looks a whole lot different than it did a few weeks ago. The routines that defined our life, like school and work, have been turned on their heads. It seems like every day we are hit with more changes, but safety, especially that of our children remains at the forefront.

While businesses around the world are closing their doors to prevent the spread of COVID-19, many pharmacies remain open to ensure the public has access to necessary medications. Even though many are working extra hours to keep up with the increased demand and face higher risk of getting sick, pharmacy employees remain dedicated to giving patients the care that they need.
