Older adults represent the major target population for oral medications, due to high prevalence of multimorbidity. To allow successful pharmacological treatments, patients need adhere their medication and, thus, patient-centric drug products with a level acceptability by end users are needed. However, knowledge on appropriate size and shape solid dosage forms, as most commonly used forms in older adults, is still scarce. A randomized intervention study was performed including 52 (65 94...
Swallowability, visual perception, and any handling to be conducted prior use are all influence factors on the acceptability of an oral dosage form by patient. Knowing preferences older adults, as major group medication end users, is needed for patient-centric drug development. This study aimed at evaluating ability adults handle tablets well assess anticipated swallowability tablets, capsules, mini based perception. The randomized intervention included 52 (65 94 years) younger (19 36...
