Abstract

Any orally administrable medicament is prepared into a dosage form which eliminates the unpleasant taste and mouth feel of the medicament and is easily and pleasantly ingested even by children, by microencapsulating the medicament into microcapsules of less than 300 microns diameter, and embedding the microcapsules into a soft, sweet, palatable matrix, such as chocolate.
