Article Synopsis
- Dysphagia, a swallowing problem, affects many older adults, especially those with conditions like strokes and dementia, making it hard for them to take their medicines.
- Thicker liquids are often used to help people swallow better, but this can change how medicines dissolve and work in the body.
- The study looked at different research about how thickened liquids affect medicines, finding that most studies showed thickeners can slow down how fast medicines dissolve, but more research is needed to really understand their impact on different medications.
