Applications
ORA-Sweet SF may be used alone or in combination with other agents. ORA-Sweet SF will retain its flavoring properties when diluted up to 50% with water or suspending agents. Its versatility makes it ideal for the flavoring of:
• Pediatric suspensions • Geriatric suspensions
How to Use

Properties
ORA-Sweet SF does not contain sugar or alcohol. A small amount of sodium saccharin imparts sweetness to ORA-Sweet SF. Xanthan gum, glycerin and sorbitol contribute to both texture and good flow characteristics. ORA-Sweet SF contains flavoring agents to increase palatability. ORA-Sweet SF is buffered to a slightly acidic pH to help diminish degradation of medicinal agents through oxidation.
