Abstract Food thickening agents are used to aid the administration of medicine to elderly patients with dysphagia. Magnesium oxide tablets are sometimes administered with food thickening agents. Non-disintegration and disintegration delay of these tablets in the body are problems associated with food thickening agent use. However, the appropriate usage of food thickening agents for administering tablets is not established. Here, the reasons for the non-disintegration of magnesium oxide tablets administered with food thickeners and appropriate usage of food thickeners were examined using a disintegration test of newly opened and moisture-absorbed magnesium oxide tablets. Immersion of magnesium oxide tablets for 10 and 30 min in xanthan and guar gum-based food thickening agents caused disintegration delay and non-disintegration in the first fluid (pH 1.2). However, tablets immersed for 1 min quickly disintegrated. The disintegration of xanthan gum-based food thickening agents was faster than guar gum-based food thickening agents. Moisture absorption by magnesium oxide tablets caused a significant delay in their disintegration in water. The tablets that absorbed moisture disintegrated within 1 min in the first fluid, even when immersed in food thickening agents for a short time. Overall, a short immersion of magnesium oxide tablets in food thickening agents can avoid non-disintegration.
