Kids RX will take any medicine you have and make it into one of their 800 flavors. 800! They will prepare any flavored medicines for adults, children and pets.  The owner, William Brownstein, came up with this idea of masking medicine in flavors and textures. He can make medicine into: a lollipop, pudding, spaghetti sauce, gummi bears (most popular) and transdermal gels to wipe on a forehead if a patient can’t swallow, and anything else you want.   I asked him what the favorite flavors were: vodka and peanut butter. Vodka flavor is for the adults of course.The owner, William Brownstein, was more than happy to discuss his place. This man practically walks on air. He is brewing with enthusiasm, optimism and energy. He also owns a Kids RX in the west village.  He guarantees that he has every medicine in stock or the cost of it is on him.  They accept every insurance in the U.S. or he will buy the medicine for you. The pharmacy will deliver anywhere in Brooklyn. I asked him what the minimum was for delivery: “a q-tip” he quipped. He even offered to pick up a quart of milk on the way for someone if they needed it.  Yes, this is for real.They do also carry infant and newborn items like feeding tools, sippy cups, pacifiers, etc.  They have the high quality health and beauty products and gift items too. They have an adorable train room in the back. They sell and prepare homeopathic medications. They carry Bioron products. They do vitamin preparations.You can order everything online and then have it delivered to you! Amazing!

We’ve been having to give iron drops to our almost 18-month-old and it’s been a massive struggle. (I tasted them myself and it’s like sucking on a rusty nail.) Poor kid gags, chokes, vomited once. I heard about Kids Rx and gave them a call. Bill, the owner, was great. They’ll fill rx’s for kids & grownups and can flavor them ($5 charge). Bill was happy to take the iron drops we’d purchased elsewhere and flavor them. He made one grape batch, one chocolate batch. As he suspected, the chocolate was better at masking the bad taste. He really knows his stuff. (They also have a great train table in the pharmacy, which made it hard to leave with my son.  “More choo choo! More choo choo!”) I can’t say my son enjoys the drops, but he tolerates them now. I just wanted to spread the word about Bill and Kids Rx. They also deliver throughout Bklyn.  (Helpful, since I live on the other side of the park.)  Absolutely no affiliation, just a happy customer.
