Why do some drugs (ibuprofen) have a flavour / taste, and others don’t (paracetamol)?
In: Other
Many prescription drugs sold commercially are coated in a substance that makes them taste better (bitterent) so that if a kid got into them, they would spit them out instead of eating them. Like everything, this has a cost, so manufacturers only do it on stuff that’s likely to be very dangerous if swallowed accidentally.
