PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improver of swallowing difficulty, ensuring very high safety, and facilitating the administration. SOLUTION: The improver of the swallowing difficulty comprises a liquid preparation containing 0.1-0.4% (w/v) hyaluronic acid (HA) having 500,000-1,200,000 weight average molecular weight or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. When it is a liquid medicine, it is used as a spray preparation or a gargling agent (including mouth wash, oral rinse, liquid dentifrice and the like). When used as the spray agent, a spray container is filled with the artificial saliva. The spray container may be a pressure-resistant spray container filled with an expandable gas in combination with the artificial saliva. A gas exhibiting acidity in a dissolved state is preferable as the expandable gas because the gas has effects for keeping the HA stably. Carbon dioxide gas is exemplified as such the gas, and is preferable. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
