8yo was prescribed amoxicillin for strep throat, we always had a pink one but this time the suspension is white did pharmacy make a mistake in mixing?

Dr. Hien Tran answered

Not likely: Now a days a lot of pharmacies use dye free or flavor free because lots of people either have allergies or don’t want it in their medication. If you want it flavored you need to tell them to make sure to add it.
