Dispensing of Meds for G-Tube Administration

I wanted to find out how others are dispensing liquid medications for g-tube administration? Are you dispensing in an "oral syringe"? Are you color coding the syringe tip? IF you're a peds institution, is it ordered and/or dispensed differently when the provider wants it added to feeds? Do you have special labeling?

Thanks in advance.
