Bitter-Block
Delivers all the flavor — without the bite.
New Bitter-Block™ Technology for the following Gourmeds®
A Breakthrough in the Science of Compliance
When an animal is already under stress and exhibiting inappropriate behaviors such as anxiety, excessive grooming, spraying, inappropriate elimination, or experiencing neuropathic pain and other disorders, medicating an animal should not add to its stress — or yours. That's why we've added Bitter-Block technology to these bitter-tasting medications that are commonly prescribed for behavioral disorders in small animals. It's a Wedgewood Pharmacy exclusive. Using a proprietary process and food-grade materials, we coat each particle of medication before it's pressed into a tasty, chewable Gourmeds tablet. The soluble, temporary coating protects the taste buds from the bitterness of the medication while allowing the yummy chicken-flavor to do its job. And, because each particle of medication — not the finished tablet — is protected with Bitter-Block technology, a tasty Gourmeds can be cut or chewed without losing the effectiveness of this new technology.
When bitter-tasting medications like amitriptyline, clomipramine and fluoxetine are what the doctor orders for behavioral disorders, we work hard to make it easier for you to give — and your pets to take — their medicine. That's why we've developed unique, compliance-friendly dosage forms like tasty, chewable Gourmeds with all natural chicken flavor.
