AT WHAT AGE CAN CHILDREN USE THE XSTRAW®?

Typically from the age of 2 years

 

 

IS THE XSTRAW® ONLY FOR CHILDREN?

In general, the XStraw®  is for everybody who doesn’t want to swallow big tablets or capsules, who isn’t able to swallow properly at all or who wants a choice in taste when taking medicine on  a daily basis …

 

 

IS ANY USER EXPERIENCE WITH THE XSTRAW® IN REAL PATIENT ENVIRONMENT AVAILABLE?

The former owner of the IP rights performed a marketing study in 6 countries:

  • Germany
  • Spain
  • France
  • Italy
  • Mexico
  • Chile

The results can be exploited once a CDA has been signed

 

 

WHAT ABOUT POSSIBLE BEVERAGES?

The former owner performed tests with a huge variety of beverages such as carbonated drinks (e.g. cola, bitter lemon, lemonades, sparkling water and else) non-carbonated drinks (e.g. (still) water, ice tea, cold tea, milk without cream, fruit juice without pulp etc.) warm beverages (however, limited to a max. of 40 °C) Even coconut milk was considered as a drink since in some countries it is easier to get rather than clean water…

Especially with chronic diseases, a daily varying taste (or the most preferred taste) can really help to adhere to the intake regimen prescribed by the doctor
