Abstract
By individually metering and dispensing specific volumes and/or weights of each component of a dosage, an amount of the components for each dose is secured with very high accuracy. A method for dosing a pharmaceutical product in a sealed container, such as, for example, a packet, sachet, blister pack, or other unit dose form. The dosage may include a first component that is a thickening agent and a second component that is an active ingredient. The thickening agent serves as a carrier that allows the active ingredient to dissolve in the mouth and be swallowed without the administration of water. The method includes providing the first component by measuring the volume or weighing the mass of the first component and measuring the volume or weighing the mass of the second component. Subsequent components may also be individually measured or weighed before being added to a package.
