Acceptability of minitablets in soft food. A randomised cross-over study in children
Minitablets in soft food were generally acceptable for children aged 9 months to 7 years, especially those aged 2-4 years. Swallowability and palatability were good across all age groups. Larger soft-food volumes were often preferred, but both volumes were well tolerated.
