Description

Fluid gel is a suspension of microgel particles. The fluid gel is formulated using a biopolymer and produced by applying shearing during gelation process. It exhibits the optimal physicochemical properties including the nectar and honey consistency which is suitable for delivering medication to individuals with dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing). The higher viscosity of fluid gel offers an advantage in swallowing, taste masking and stability as well as reducing risk of aspiration. Despite its higher viscosity, the formulation permits easy pouring, measuring, and withdrawal into the dispensing spoon, making it a convenient oral dosage form.
