Abstract
This invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions of calcium polycarbophil (CPC) sprinkles. The CPC sprinkles contain very fine calcium polycarbophil powder, with smooth particles, and are processed with one or more excipients to produce a flowable, dispersible composition. For pediatric dosing, the CPC sprinkles are premixed with food and when placed in the mouth, its smooth and creamy consistency makes it easy to ingest without leaving a gritty mouthfeel.
