Abstract
The present invention provides a novel rapid-melt pharmaceutical composition comprising a binder, a super emulsifier, a diluent/bulking material; and an active ingredient. The present invention also provides a rapid-melt bead composition comprising a binder having a melting point from about 20 to about 90° C., an emulsifier; a diluent/bulking material; and an active ingredient. Further, the present invention provides a chew tablet composition comprising a binder; an emulsifier having a melting point of greater than about 40° C.; a diluent/bulking material; and an active ingredient. Methods of making the disclosed compositions are also described.
