Since many pediatric and adult patients will now need to take the liquid formulation of ritonavir as a result of the impending shortage of ritonavir capsules, the AIDS Clinical Trials Group has compiled a list of administration suggestions from their pediatric sites. Some of these ideas have worked for only one or two patients and some have worked for more.
Taste is an individual experience, so the list contains all the suggestions received.
Coat the mouth with peanut butter prior to administration. Peanut butter sandwich before and after administration. Eat peanut butter crackers before the dose. Use toothpaste to coat the tongue prior to administration. Popsicles before and after administering the dose.
