USPTO Abstract
The application discloses oral pharmaceutical compositions which are tasted in the mouth during administration. Fast-dissolving tablets, chewable tablets and effervescent dispersions are exemplified. To mask the taste of unpleasant-tasting active ingredients, it has been found that blending with cyclodextrin without the conventional complex formation is effective. Consequently more economical modes of manufacture such as simple granulation and dry blending can be used.
