Pet Medication Compounding

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.
