Powder pharmaceutical formulations

摘要

Methods and powder formulations for delivering a powdered medicament or agent to an individual are provided. The powder formulation includes a medicament or agent. The powder formulation also includes a sufficient amount of a masking agent to allow the consumer to allow at least a portion of the powder to dissolve in his or her mouth due to the flavor masking abilities of the powdered oral dosage form. It is believed that by placing the powder formulation into the mouth of the user, the medicament or agent is released, enhancing the absorption of the drug into the systemic system as well as the bioavailability of the drug within the system.
