Pick your favorite flavor!
We have a choice of many flavors and colors to match. Our pharmacists understand that each patient has special needs, and unique likes and dislikes. That is why we provide our customized medications. We want to make it easy for everyone – children, adults, and even animals – to take needed medications as directed.

Giving medication to children does not have to be a constant battle. Let your child choose from one of our 150 different flavors (watermelon, root beer, grape, raspberry, etc.). Working together with your doctor, we can even change the dosage form – from a liquid to a "gummy square," lollipop, freezer pop or lozenge!

Many times, as people age or develop a chronic illness, their taste preferences can change. Sweetness may no longer be tolerable. Coffee or bitter bitter flavors – or perhaps no flavor at all – may be more pleasing. We compound dosage forms that make it easier to take medication while at school or traveling – such as chewable troches or lozenges that will not require refrigeration!

Please note that there is an additional $5.00 fee for flavoring a medication.
