PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a jelly formulation capable of appropriately administering a medical agent to patients with the dysphagia.SOLUTION: A simple drug suspension is included in a jelly agent that includes no gelatine but employs agar as a jelly base agent, and is used for administering a medical agent to patients with the dysphagia. The concentration of the jelly base agent is 0.9-1.1 wt.%. There is not much difference in speeds between the simple drug suspension and the jelly base agent for passing through the throat so as to prevent the simple drug suspension from being exposed from the jelly base agent, when passing through the throat.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】嚥下障害患者に薬剤を適切に投与可能なゼリー製剤を提供する。【解決手段】簡易懸濁薬剤が、ゼラチンを包含せず寒天をゼリー基剤とするゼリー剤に内包されており、嚥下障害患者に対する薬剤投与に用いられる。ゼリー基剤の濃度は0.9~1.1重量%である。簡易懸濁薬剤とゼリー基剤とが咽頭を通過する速度において大きく異なるものではないため、咽頭を通過中に簡易懸濁薬剤がゼリー剤から露出することがない。【選択図】図1
