JPH08175971A - Pasty wafer - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: To obtain an additive, pasty wafer, intended to facilitate to be administered through its mixing with a medicine for internal use into a paste, capable of improving the fluidity of the medicine in the oral cavity to facilitate swallowing the medicine, thus designed to make such a medicine easy to take as a result of masking the taste, odor etc. thereof. CONSTITUTION: This pasty wafer is obtained by formulating a blend of e.g. high-viscosity type hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, precipitated silica as consistency regulator and water at the weight ratio of (1:0.5:40) with 0.005wt.% of ethyl p-oxybenzoate as antiseptic, 0.012wt.% of saccharine sodium as flavor, and 0.75wt.% of orange oil as fragrance.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

[Industrial field] Internal medicines, especially powders, may be difficult to take due to their taste and physical properties. In addition, not only powders but also tablets and syrups may be rejected in the elderly and infants. The present invention is an additive for changing the internal medicine to be easy to take.

[0002]

[Background Art] Wrapped in a paper-like wafer or mixed with soft drinks and taken.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the prior art, the oblate broke or stuck to the oral cavity and could not be swallowed, and when mixed with soft drink, the volume became too large or the taste became unpleasant and left uneaten. There was such a problem.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] A base for making a paste (eg, high-viscosity type hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, gelatin, starch, dextran, alginate, sodium caseinate, fibroin, polyethylene glycol, etc.) is added as necessary. Consistency modifiers (eg light anhydrous silicic acid, glycerin etc.), flavoring agents (eg sucrose, glucose, stevia, aspartame, saccharin, citric acid etc.), fragrances (eg orange flavor, strawberry flavor, coffee flavor etc.) , And a preservative (for example, ethyl paraoxybenzoate, methyl paraoxybenzoate, propyl paraoxybenzoate, parabens, sorbic acid, etc.), a colorant, etc. are added and mixed to prepare the pasty wafer of the present invention, and an appropriate amount thereof is added. Internal medicine Add to and mix.

[0005]

[Function] Improvement of fluidity (slippage) in the oral cavity of an internal medicine and masking of taste, smell and the like.

[0006]

【Example】

First Example A high-viscosity type hydroxypropylmethylcellulose was used as a base material for forming a paste, and light anhydrous silicic acid was added to this as a viscosity adjusting agent. The compounding ratio was hydroxypropylmethylcellulose: light anhydrous silicic acid: water = 1: 0.5: 40, and 0.005% ethyl paraoxybenzoate as a preservative, 0.012% sodium saccharin as a flavoring agent, and an aromatic agent. 0.75% of orange oil was added to prepare the pasty wafer of the present invention. 1.3g of powder with strong bitterness and odor
It was added to (digestive), mixed and taken. Second Example Glycerogelatin, which is a mixture of gelatin and glycerin, was used as a base for forming a paste. Gelatin: water: glycerin = 5: 20: 75, and ethyl paraoxybenzoate 0.005 as a preservative.
%, 0.012 saccharin sodium as a corrigent
%, And 0.75% of orange oil as a fragrance were added to prepare the pasty wafer of the present invention. 5 g thereof was added to 1.3 g (digestive) of powder having a strong bitterness and odor, mixed, and taken.

[0007]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION The fluidity (slippage) of the internal medicine in the oral cavity was improved and it became easy to swallow. The taste and smell of the internal medicine were masked, making it easier to take. In addition, the volume of the medicine after mixing did not increase so much, and since it could be taken in small amounts, there was no leftover drink.
