Abstract
A product and process of manufacturing an edible soft-chewable dosage form for the delivery of pharmaceutically active ingredients or nutritional agents orally to an animal or human subject, by forming a granulated soft-chew mass by appropriate mixing and sifting steps, and forming tablets with a compression press. Such soft-chew dosage forms have hardness of less than about two kilopond (2 kp) and friability of less than about one percent (1%) at three-hundred (300) rotations when measured according to the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) test. The process for manufacturing such compressed soft-chew tablets employs compression (tablet) pressing equipment to produce soft-chew tablets of consistent weight and texture.
