title: Use of taste-masking product, FLAVORx, to assist Thai children to ingest generic antiretrovirals.
abstract: We evaluated whether FLAVORx helped thirty Thai children take opened capsule, crushed tablets and liquid generic ARVs with more ease. All children had excellent adherence, evaluated by PACTG Standard International Questionnaire and interviewing, before and after one month of FLAVORx. Eighty percent took ARV with more ease and wish to continue FLAVORx. Strawberry was the most popular flavor.
