I have 4 currently on Pediapred (no additional flavoring) and have no problem with them taking it. Maybe you could try that. I get it from a human pharmacy. My pharmacist sells me the ones that are just about to go out of date. He can't sell them to humans, but they are actually effective for another 2-3 years. I get them at cost so I save a good bit on it. Katharine [Posted in FML issue 4246]
