SUMMARY Getting children to take medicines can be difficult. There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. When selecting medicines for children, it is important to consider the child’s age, swallowing ability, ease of administration and accessibility of the product. Ask the child, parent or caregiver about their preference for formulations and flavours. There are different ways to alter the taste, aftertaste and mouth feel of medicines, which may help improve palatability. Pharmacists or medicines information services can assist with advice on suitable formulations or methods of administration.
