Answer 1

I have the hardest time with my youngest child Sarah. She won't take any medicine. She has Strep throat now and the doctor prescribed Augmentin which she has had before. In the past we had the most horrifying time getting her to take the doses she needed, my husband had to hold her down and I had to get the dosespoon in her mouth. I felt like we were torturing her, I couldn't stand it. This time I used FLAVORx and Sarah picked grape. She has taken it like a champ since. I would recommend this to anyone.

Answer 2

I tried it on my 4 year old in the grape flavor. Its her favorite fruit so i thought it would be nice. She really liked it but at first, she hesitated to try it but then she saw how good it was and she started to like it she always says, " Mommy, can i have some more cough medicine??" and she was already off the medicine and i said back " Mabye next time you get a cold. " And then she started asking her brother to cough on her so then she would get germs and have the medicine. So i would at least give it a chance.

Answer 3

Yes. We made a guifenesen based cough syrup the watermelon flavor and kids said it was bitter. I would never flavor meds again. I was out buying more the next day.

Answer 4

for most medicines it works pretty well. The OTC cough and cold medicines can be greatly improved. If your kid is not good at taking medicine I'd highly recommend it.

Answer 5

We've given it to our daughter in the grape flavor. She seemed to like it, but of course the bubble gum amox is her fav. worth the money by not having to force it down their throat.
