As a throat cancer patient it became impossible to take any pills after my surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. The gagging and vomiting would leave me exhausted until I found Pill Glide. Now I spray Pill Glide into my mouth, take a glass of water and I am able to swallow up to 6 pills at the same time. It’s changed my life” Ted Herget Baltimore, MD “My 9 year old daughter could never swallow pills. Each time we tried, she became anxious and upset. The very first time we tried pill glide she was able to swallow medication with no problem at all. We were delighted that it was so easy! Now, whenever she has to take a pill, we give her two spays of pill glide and she swallows medication easily, without any concern. I highly recommend pill glide to any parent whose child has difficulty taking medication.” Maureen Spada Boston, MA “I love the idea of making medicine easier for sick children to take.

Company BackgroundOver twelve years ago, FLAVORx was founded on the simple idea that the taste of medicine should never come between your child and their good health. It started at our small community pharmacy with one flavor, Banana, developed for a child having serious difficulty taking anti-seizure medication. In the decade+ since FLAVORx was first inspired to take on the mission of increasing medication adherence, we’ve added many new flavors and now provide pharmacies with flavoring recipes for not just one drug, but hundreds of them including over-the-counter medicine.

Product Overview Pill Glide builds on FLAVORx’s longstanding mission of improving peoples lives by making “medicine-time” a positive experience. The original flavoring system was only for liquid medication. With Pill Glide, we have expanded our original idea and focused towards other dosage forms such as tablets and capsules.
