Have a Little Fun with Flavor
The FlavorBot can help you and your kids choose a flavor to make
prescriptions tasty (and avoid medicine-time meltdowns). It's fun
and gets kids involved.

Pets can be just as picky as kids (or adults), but they need to
take their medication, too.2 Our pet-approved flavors are all
sugar-free and salt-free, unless noted.
We also offer a diabetes-friendly, sugar-free version of our
standard veterinary vehicle (the mixture we add medication and
flavoring to). Talk to your pharmacist or veterinarian about what's
right for your pet.

Prescription Flavoring FAQ
Q: What types of medications can be flavored?
A: Liquid medications such as syrups,
solutions and suspensions can be flavored. These medications include
liquid medications or powders made by a manufacturer require mixing
with water by a pharmacy staff.
Q: Why are some flavors not listed for a particular
medication?
A: We don't offer a complete list because some combinations produce
an unpleasant taste or affect the medication itself. Use the FlavorBot to see which flavors would mix
best with your medication.
Q: Is flavoring just for kids?
A: No, anyone can have their medication
flavored. Children, adults and older patients may find flavoring
improves the taste of their medication-making it easier to take. All
FLAVORx products are sugar-free, and the sweeting enhancer is
natural.
Most patients with food sensitivities will
find it's safe to use FLAVORx. Patients sensitive to certain dyes;
however, should not use the vanilla flavor.
Q: Is flavoring FSA eligible?
A: Yes, with some FSA plans. Contact your
provider to be sure.
1 Not all prescriptions can be flavored. Ask your local
Walgreens pharmacist for more details.
