Abstract
A novel method for the preparation of a tablet comprising a calcium-containing compound, the method involves a melt granulation process by which a sugar alcohol is melted and embeds the calcium-containing compound so that a sufficient taste masking of the chalkiness is substantially achieved and an unpleasant mouth feel of the calcium-containing compound is substantially avoided, while at the same time obtaining a low tablet volume. The method of the invention is especially suitable for the manufacturing of tablets having a high load of a calcium-containing compound.
