Switching to the Orapred (or even the generic Orapred is the one we get) made a HUGE difference. I couldn't stomach the first one and this one is great. I made the pharmacist let me taste test. LOL The Orapred doesn't have grape added at the pharmacy level (the first gross stuff they tried that and it was still nasty) - it is manufactured that way and is made with a different sodium base that is less bitter. Much better! Madison gives it to herself now. Shannon's idea of using a little straw worked too when we were trying to get Madison to take the nasty stuff.
