Do you struggle to get your kids to take their medicine? When your little one is feeling under the weather, the last thing you want to do is battle over getting them to take the medicine they need to feel better.
We recently held a very helpful, empowering teleclass with Sonia Patel, Chief Pharmacist at Capsule – also our generous sponsor – for tips and tricks to help the medicine go down (hint: it’s not a spoonful of sugar!).
During class, Sonia covered some proven strategies to help take the anxiety and dread out of medicine time. She discussed common mistakes that parents can make when trying to get their kids to take medicine; explained the different ways that pharmacists can help; shed light on what medicine flavoring is and how it works; taught some important techniques for keeping medicine safe within your home, and more!
