Masking the Taste of Fixed-Dose Combination Drugs: Particular NSAIDs Can Efficiently Mask the Bitterness of Famotidine
This study aimed to evaluate the bitterness of famotidine (FAM) combined with each of three non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): ibuprofen (IBU), flurbiprofen (FLU), and naproxen (NAP), which have potential as fixed-dose combination (FDC) drugs. We evaluated the bitterness of FAM and each NSAID by taste sensor AN0 and C00, respectively. FAM showed high sensor output representing sensitivity to bitterness, whereas three NSAIDs did not show large sensor output, suggesting that the bitterness intensities of three NSAIDs were lower than that of FAM. The bitterness of FAM on sensor AN0 was suppressed in a concentrati...
