ABSTRACT:
A method for converting a tablet containing medication into a palatable fluid includes the steps of adding a palatable fluid to a container, placing the tablet containing the medication and then disintegrating the tablet/fluid combination until the table is disintegrating the tablet/fluid combination until the tablet is disintegrated and dispersed throughout the palatable fluid for forming a palatable mixture in the container for ingestion by a patient. An apparatus for carrying out the method uses either an ultrasonic device, such as a ultrasonic probe, or a crushing device for disintegrating and dispersing the tablet throughout the palatable fluid.
