ORA Sweet Syrup S/F (16 oz) from PADDOCK LABORATORIES is a sugar-free, flavored syrup vehicle designed to mix with or carry medicinal agents while preserving flavor and reducing oxidation.

ORA Sweet Syrup S/F is a pharmacy-grade suspension and flavoring base formulated to improve palatability for liquid medications and compounded preparations. Buffered to a mildly acidic pH, this syrup helps slow oxidative breakdown of compatible active ingredients and keeps flavor intact even when diluted. The sugar-free formula is useful for patients who need reduced-sugar preparations or for practitioners compounding tailored liquid doses.

How does ORA Sweet Syrup S/F protect active ingredients?

The syrup’s slight acidity provides a more stable environment for many medicinal agents by decreasing the rate of oxidation compared with neutral or alkaline vehicles. It’s intended for use where chemical stability and taste preservation are important during short- to medium-term storage and administration.

• Buffered to a mildly acidic pH to help limit oxidative degradation
• Compatible with many common pharmaceutical agents when mixed properly
• Recommended for use under compounding guidelines and storage recommendations

Will the flavor hold up if I dilute it or suspend other ingredients?

Yes — ORA Sweet Syrup S/F retains its flavoring properties when diluted up to half its volume with water or compatible suspending agents. That makes it flexible for adjusting viscosity, concentration, or taste without losing the intended flavor profile.

• Maintains taste when mixed up to 50% with water or suspending vehicles
• Sugar-free formulation avoids added sugars while delivering flavor
• Useful for compounding flavored pediatric and adult liquids

How should I use ORA Sweet Syrup S/F when compounding or dosing?

• Can be used alone or combined with other compounding agents
• Mix carefully to ensure even suspension and consistent dosing
• Observe recommended storage and stability guidance for final preparations

What practical benefits does the sugar-free formula offer?

• Sugar-free for patients monitoring carbohydrate intake
• Less risk of promoting tooth decay compared with sugar-based syrups
• Maintains flavor without added sugars, suitable for many compounding needs
