So your pharmacy offers FLAVORx? Awesome! Providing a service that helps kids take their medicine is a huge deal for families. Once you have your new FLAVORx system up and running, the next step is making sure your community knows that your pharmacy flavors medicine. Having FLAVORx available won't do you or your patients any good if they don't know it's an option! Fortunately, raising awareness about your flavoring service is easy as can be. 

• Behind the pharmacy counter, time is in short supply. Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are responsible for a seemingly endless list of tasks, leaving many stressed and burned out. Fortunately, the availability of pharmacy automation technology has made some of these tasks far more efficient in recent years.

• Reconstituting liquid medications has traditionally between a time-consuming task as it requires pharmacy staff to stop what they're doing to fill the prescription when the patient arrives to pick it up.

To make filling liquid medications easier, FLAVORx and Fillmaster offer purified water dispensers that provide clean water on demand. Whether you fill 50 liquid medications a day or 5, FLAVORx and Fillmaster have a dispenser that will change the way you dispense liquid scripts.

From the flu and RSV to colds and COVID, it's the time of year when respiratory illnesses are hitting families around the country hard. After holiday travel and family gatherings, the post-winter break return to school often marks a swift uptick in kids getting sick. In many cases, kids need an antibiotic, antiviral, or over-the-counter medication to ease the sore throat, fever, and sniffles, and get them back to feeling better. When kids have trouble taking those important medications, the tears, tantrums, and spit-out doses make the experience even worse for everyone. Fortunately, pharmacies can help.

Pharmacies that offer FLAVORx can customize the taste of most liquid medications to make medicine-time easier for kids and parents. Aversion to medicine can start early in life and have long-lasting effects that make the experience stressful for both kids and their parents. Letting kids choose the flavor of their medicine not only improves a bad taste, but also helps kids take ownership over something that previously out of their control.

Here at FLAVORx, we're grateful to work with some of the best pharmacists and pharmacy techs around - the kind of people who bring their all to their job and truly care about their patients' wellbeing. In honor of American Pharmacists Month, we're celebrating our independent pharmacy customers whose hard work helps members of their communities live healthy lives.
