CHARLESTON -- When it comes to antibiotics, pharmacists at Loop Pharmarcy are mixing up tastier medicine the high-tech way. Technology is making it more interactive for parents and their kids to pick the flavor. A new machine at Loop Pharmacy's location in Kanawha City in Charleston lets the pharmacist scan the bar code from the prescription bottle. Information about the prescription flashes on the screen with the exact amount of flavoring that should go into the medication. "With this new tool, everything is done visually. In fact, it's so fast that it takes five minutes instead of 30 minutes these days," said pharmacy owner Bill McFarland.
