The present invention proposes a formulation and the process to prepare thick water to be administered to patients afflicted by dysphagia. It particularly comprises of a polymer that helps the formulation to stay thick when administered and thins out as it passes to the stomach. The formulation does not regain viscosity when it enters duodenum and small intestine regions. This formulation for the management of dysphagia can be prepared at any consistency/viscosity required. Some of the advantages proposed are a decrease in feeling of satiety, ease of administration and no effect on the bioavailability of co-administered medications.
