ATLANTA — A new national survey indicates that U.S. pediatricians overwhelmingly favor the ingredient profiles in Genexa’s pediatric pain and fever liquid medicines over those in Children’s Tylenol® top-selling comparable products. Genexa, the first “clean medicine” company, produces over-the-counter medicines with the same effective active ingredients as leading brands but without artificial additives.
The findings, drawn from a double-blind national survey of U.S. pediatricians (FRC 2025), show a clear preference for Genexa’s oral suspension formulations when treating pediatric pain and fever.
“This should be a wake-up call for the industry,” said David Johnson, CEO and co-founder of Genexa. “Pediatricians are sending a clear message: it’s time to change our medicines. We are so proud to be the first company to make clean medicine because we believe that no parent should have to choose between clean ingredients and effective relief.”
The results come at a time when transparency and ingredient awareness are increasingly important to both parents and healthcare providers. With 88 percent of parents identifying pediatricians as their most trusted source for children’s health advice, the survey findings suggest a strong alignment between medical recommendations and parental priorities.
“Fewer artificial additives isn’t a trend, it’s a clinical and parental priority,” said Dr. Shayna Smith, board-certified pediatrician and Genexa partner. “Genexa reflects what we as doctors want to see more of: clean, simple, and effective formulas for acute symptom relief.”
The trend toward clean-label products—those made with simple, recognizable ingredients and without artificial additives—continues to outpace the growth of conventional products. Genexa has positioned itself at the forefront of this movement in the medicine aisle, offering children’s pain relievers and cold and flu treatments free from artificial preservatives, sweeteners, dyes, and common allergens.
“Knowing that the medical professionals who have made a commitment to children’s health prefer our ingredients is incredibly validating,” Johnson said. “We hope this empowers even more parents to make the switch to clean medicine.”
