Yucky medicine? ; / ,       ( 5 3 4 ( 9 0 ; 0 4 , We’ve all had to take revolting tasting medicines when we’re sick. For some people, yucky medicine is a daily problem. However have you ever stopped and asked why medicines have to taste nasty? Well it just so happens that medicines don’t have to taste awful.

Compoundia’s campaign against nasty medicines involves one of two options. In many cases, Compoundia can simply re-flavour an existing medication and certainly this is the least expensive solution. However in extreme cases, we may be able to tailor-make a palatable version of the offending medicine. Either way, patients need no longer suffer with awful tasting medications, which is good news for parents with fussy kids, and even for adults with delicate taste buds.

There are a myriad of possible flavours including peach, strawberry, blueberry, chocolate, vanilla, marshmallow, lemon and more – or even a combination of flavours.

But we don’t just stop with unpalatable human medications. At Compoundia we also work with a variety of veterinary practitioners on tasty products for finicky pets. For cats and dogs you might like to consider tuna, liver, beef and chicken.

Whatever the size, shape or even species, it is safe to say that Compoundia is catering to everybody’s tastes. This is just one more way that Compoundia makes the difference.  3 5 , = (   ( ; + , % , 7 , 2 1 For further information about Compoundia or questions about how we can enhance pet medications contact Compoundia on 9670 2882. ,?,?733699(;( 06065::66-- ;/;/,, 9,9,3(3 ;0; 656 ://0707 ),) ;>>,,,55 /
