Kenneth Lee Kramm (June 16, 1961 – July 12, 2016) was an American entrepreneur who founded FLAVORx and its system of adding flavoring to otherwise unpalatable medicines to make them easier to take.
After developing a dislike for that career in 1992, he joined his father's pharmacy firm in Washington as a business manager.
[1] Kramm's youngest daughter began suffering epileptic seizures weeks after her birth in February 1992.
Once she was able to be released from the hospital, she balked at the multiple daily doses of phenobarbital needed to prevent grand mal seizures, by either refusing to take the ill-tasting medicine or holding it in her mouth until it leaked out.
[4] In May 1992, Kramm's father, Harold, suggested sweetening the medicine with flavorings used by candy manufacturers.
