Relationship between bitter-taste receptor genotype and solid medication formulation usage among young children: a retrospective analysis.

Clinical therapeutics - 1 Mar 2012

Lipchock Sarah V, Reed Danielle R, Mennella Julie A

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Children often refuse to take medication in liquid formulation because of its unpleasant taste. Recent advances in taste genetics have provided some insight into individual differences in taste among children: due to their genotype, some prefer more intense sweetness and are more sensitive to bitter tastes and thus may have different needs for medication formulation. OBJECTIVE: The aims of this study...
