Health Mart Stories
Oh, Baby
"My 10 month-old son suffers from a chronic heartburn condition. Unfortunately, the medication that my doctor prescribed for him has an extremely minty taste and smell. Each time I attempted to administer the medication he spit it up from the strong taste. I was in a panic, because my baby was suffering terrible pain and there didn't seem to be anything I could do about it.
"I finally contacted Marc Brandel, my Health Mart pharmacist. He was wonderful — and incredibly smart. Marc's idea was to add a flavor to make the taste of the medication more palatable. He went online, found a specialty flavor enhancer, and reformulated the medication with a grape flavor. My son took the new grape-flavored drug from the very first time and the screaming (and pain) stopped. I can't thank Marc enough for what he did. My Health Mart hero? That's easy...his name is Marc Brandel."
