Thanks Robin,

Sadly, we’re in New Zealand and we only have the choice of the solution (in a sodium bicarb base – so really bitter!) or the capsules which you have to open and scatter on his food. They taint the taste of the food and he stopped eating bananas (I’d hollow out a bit and put it in and reseal it), he stopped eating pureed fruit, he stopped eating cornflakes and even stopped eating bread after I used the soft part to make a ball around the granules! He still won’t eat purees or bananas since all of that.

We’re currently mixing the 5mls of solution (10mg med) with about 6mls of fruit juice in a syringe. He was reasonably compliant this morning – although we’re still not giving him much choice in the matter as one holds him down and the other squirts it in!

I sooo wish we could get the solutabs but have discovered that if you import medications which are not on the official list then they will get stopped at the border and sent back – and you get hit with a whopping fine. I asked my brother who works with the Ministry of Health if there was any way round it since the DRUG is on the list, just not in that form but apparently not.
