FLAVORx has collaborated with Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins and Ansel’s lead author Loyd V. Allen, Jr., Ph.D., RPh to integrate taste, choice, and flavoring content into relevant chapters, case studies, and discussion questions throughout the textbook.

As many of you are well aware, this looks to be another heavy flu season. As you and your team find yourselves dispensing more Tamiflu oral suspension (OS) and, due to a shortage of the OS, the compounded oral suspension, it is important to offer custom-flavoring with this particular medication. The suspension and compounded versions of Tamiflu can have an unpleasant taste. With such an essential drug, it is important that bad-taste not be a barrier to a child taking the medicine and feeling better faster. To help alleviate this, please recommend flavoring when a customer comes in to drop-off or pick-up a prescription for Tamiflu.
