Forum Health launches melt in the mouth glucosamine 17/02/2010

Forum Health is launching a high strength glucosamine hydrochloride supplement that is formulated to be palatable and easy to take to help improve compliance.

 

Flexi-melt tablets contain 750mg of glucosamine hydrochloride with an orange flavouring.

 

The sugar-free tablets are formulated to dissolve quickly in the mouth, which may make them suitable for patients who find tablets difficult to swallow. The recommended daily dose is two tablets.

 

“As people need to take glucosamine daily for a period of two to three months before any benefit can be shown, patient acceptability of the glucosamine preparation they take is very important,” says Forum Health.

 

The launch will be supported by a promotional campaign that includes direct communication with GPs and nurses.

 

Pharmacy point of sale material, including counter units, and transfer order promotions, are available from the PowerMed pharmacy sales team.
