An in vitro experiment to simulate how easy tablets are to swallow
An in vitro experiment to simulate how easy tablets are to swallow is a scholarly work, published in 2017 in ''International Journal of Pharmaceutics''. The main subjects of the publication include swallowing, materials science, gastroesophageal reflux disease, infant crying, dysphagia, medicine, tongue, bolus, dosage form, chemistry, mouth, and biomedical engineering. The study proposes a method, based on an in vitro model of the human oropharyngeal cavity, to study quantitatively the oral phase of human swallowing in presence of single or multiple tablets.
