Liquid medications play a critical role in the healthcare of specific demographics, particularly among children and the elderly, who may have difficulty swallowing solid dosage forms. The flavor profile of these liquid formulations is of paramount importance, as the presence of active pharmaceutical ingredients often results in undesirable off-notes that can be distinctly tasted by the patient. Sensient brings a wealth of expertise to the table, not only in the identification of these common off-notes associated with various active ingredients but also in the development of effective masking strategies and appealing flavoring solutions. Our goal is to enhance the overall experience of medication consumption, ensuring that patients perceive it as a more pleasant and palatable process, thus improving adherence to their treatment regimens.
Sensient’s solutions include: a full flavor portfolio; flavor off-note and masking technologies; and a full spectrum of natural and synthetic colors.
