There is a high risk in using thickening-adjusted foods for patients with dysphagia to take medication, even if the formulation is easily disintegrated. In fact, it has been reported that the average dose of magnesium oxide tablets for patients using thickening agent was significantly higher than for patients not using thickening agent. On the other hand, the water oblate method of taking medication, which was presented by a speaker at last year's annual meeting, is useful because it has been shown to collapse. Even if the formulation is particularly easily disintegrated, it is necessary to evaluate it in advance by a pharmacist and provide information and guidance to medical professionals and patients' families.
