FlavoRx founder Kramm dies

 

WASHINGTON — Kenny Kramm, founder of FlavoRx, died in a hospital here on July 12 at 55 years old, according to the Washington Post. 

 

Kramm initially developed flavored additives for medicines in 1990s as a way to help his daughter, Hadley, take her medications. The Post reported that Hadley suffered from seizures following a brain hemorrhage at 10 days old, requiring four daily doses of phenobarbital, which she wasn’t receptive to because of how it tasted. He then began to offer it in his pharmacy, eventually founding FlavoRx, which by 2007 was offered in half of the pharmacies in the United States, according to the Post. Kramm sold FlavoRx about 10 years ago.

 

He is survived by his wife, Shelley, daughters Sarah Spund and Hadley Kramm, parents Harold and Judy Kramm and sister Harriet Pitler.
