This document discusses creative ways to improve the palatability of drugs for pediatric use. It notes that around 50% of children refuse medication at some point due to taste. It then lists 10 tips and techniques to help mask bitter drug tastes, including using gummy bears, popsicles, flavor additives like iso-valeraldehyde, microencapsulation, spray formulations, genetic taste tests, distraction techniques, and wrapping drugs in candy. The document emphasizes that since the 1900s people have tried to improve how pediatric medicine tastes and hopes future medicine will taste even better.

Editor's Notes
- Borax is marketed as a green product because it doesn’t contain phosphates or chlorine. Instead, its main ingredient is sodium tetraborate, a naturally occurring mineral. People sometimes confuse sodium tetraborate — the main ingredient in borax — and boric acid, which has similar properties. Boric acid, however, is usually used exclusively as a pesticide and is much more toxic than sodium tetraborate, so it should be handled with extra special care. While borax may be natural, that doesn’t mean it’s completely safe. Borax often comes in a box with a caution label warning users that the product is an eye irritant and that it may be harmful if swallowed. While people are mostly exposed to borax in their homes, they may also encounter it at work, such as in factories or at borax mining and refining plants.

- This method is used to develop fast‐dissolving oral technologies such as Zydis and Lyoc technology. Zydis is a tablet‐shaped dosage form that spontaneously disintegrates in the mouth in seconds. This is due to the high porosity produced by the freeze drying process. The Zydis process requires the active ingredient to be dissolved or suspended in an aqueous solution of water‐soluble structure formers. The resultant mixture is then poured into the preformed blister pockets of a laminate film and freeze dried. The two most commonly used structural excipients are gelatin and mannitol, although other suitable excipients can be used (e.g., starches, gums, etc.). This process is ideally suited to low‐solubility drugs as these are more readily freeze dried. Taste is very important for this type of dosage form and it is possible to produce palatable formulations by using artificial sweeteners (e.g., aspartame) and conventional flavors. Lyoc differs from Zydis in that the product is frozen on freeze‐dryer shelves.105
