Taste Masking 101: Sensory And Performance Evaluation
Unpleasant taste is the biggest barrier for completing treatment in pediatrics and 30% to 40% of parents had children who rejected or refused a pill or liquid medication. 26% of geriatric patients reported difficulty swallowing tablets and capsules.
By applying a taste masking application, patient compliance can increase 53% to 90%. The correlation between taste masking and understanding the impact to patient adherence is critical for any successful treatment plan. This 4-part webinar series examines the challenges within the industry such as swallowability and palatability related to patient acceptability for oral drug formulations; an overview of taste masking strategies and techniques; population preferences and the taste experience.
