Abstract
This invention relates to a method for administering drugs. In particular a lipophilic drug is solubilized by a food, such as chocolate, and admixed with an oil-based carrier. The lipid soluble drug is thus conveyed to the gastrointestinal tract. Because this type of food is digested readily, the drug is absorbed as intended, and the dose is not subject to day-to-day variations.
