When placed in the mouth the bolus is disrupted, comes apart, and releases the active ingredients. Sialogogues, flavours, and other additives assist in swallowing. Grains of the active ingredients may be encapsulated inside harder gel capsule. Active ingredients include over-the-counter medications and prescription medications. Applications include selfmedication particularly in water-free situations such as public transport, medication for children, stroke victims or the aged.
