About Jill Addeo and KidKupz
KidKupz™ takes the ick out of sick™! The inspired creation of a mother-grandmother team, KidKupz™ provides parents with a safe and easy way of administering liquid medicines – and simultaneously offers children a treat that makes taking medicine enjoyable! This truly unique product was inspired by company president and co-founder Jill Addeo's late stepfather, who was a volunteer on the pediatric floor at a major New York hospital. His work there exposed him to the difficulties children face when taking necessary medication. He spoke often of wishing that he could find a way to make the process easier. In 2006, Jill and her mother, Jo-Ann devised an ingenious way to make his dream a reality: KidKupz™.

Children’s Liquid Medicine Dosing In the News
Posted December 1st, 2010 by Jill Addeo | No Comments »As you know, we developed KidKupz to not only help children “take the ick out of sick”® and chase away the harsh taste of liquid medications, but also to help parents ensure their child is always getting the proper dosage. That is why KidKupz are made using standardized dosage cups with clearly marked measurements – no room for error and the cups can be used with ANY liquid medications.
Clearly, The Journal of the American Medical Association supports our concerns. Here is the JAMA study, released yesterday. Important reading for all parents and caregivers.
Also, here is the video from WABC and the esteemed Dr. Jay Adlersberg.
