A spoonful sugar might help the medicine go down but now there are many other options with flavored medicine. There
are FDA-approved flavors that can be added to child, pet or even an adults prescription. These flavored medicines
will suppress the bitterness and/or enhance the sweetness. Most major pharmacies will flavor the medicine for approximately $3 including CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Wal-Mart, Publix, Albertons, Target, Kmart, SuperValu, Shop Rite and Giant Food. Many local pharmacies provide this service as well.
