KEY CONCEPTS
Alternate methods for administration are often needed for solid oral dosage forms, especially for pediatric and geriatric patient groups
Foods and drinks are often used as taste-masking agents and thus require food studies
Complex analytical methodology may be needed due to the wide variety of matrices encountered
Evaluation of functionality after exposure, compared to a control
Evaluation of the stability of the product in the food or drink under test
Studies are designed around an understanding of the chemical characteristics of the active and excipient components, as well as the foods/drinks to be evaluated
