[DYSPHAGIA] Thick It Prescriptions

I feel a bit "unsophisticated" here, but I tell my patients that they can
get Thick-It at the local drug store. It's available OTC at drugstores here
in Arizona, and I believe the cost for a small 8oz can is less expensive
than the co-pay on most prescriptions.
Respectfully,
Denise Stats-Caldwell, CCC-SLP
