Abstract

A housing body (10) for deglutition of a shaped solid (5) for oral ingestion which is stored therein, comprising a generally tubular water-resistant envelope (1); an opening-side end part (A) at one end of the envelope, having an unsealable structure part (2), and capable of forming an opening part (22) by removing the unsealable structure part; a shielding-side end part (B) at the other end of the envelope, having a means for preventing the shaped solid for oral ingestion from release, the means allowing liquid to pass therethrough but not allowing the shaped solid for oral ingestion to pass therethrough; and a storage chamber (6) storing the shaped solid for oral ingestion between the opening-side end part and the shielding-side end part is disclosed. A method for swallowing a shaped solid for oral ingestion, wherein an unsealable structure part installed at an opening-side end part of the housing body is removed; the shielding-side end part of the housing body is immersed into liquid in a vessel while the shaped solid for oral ingestion is stored in the storage chamber in the tubular envelope; and an opening part formed at the opening-side end part is held between the lips so that the shaped solid for oral ingestion is sucked in together with the liquid in the vessel is also disclosed.
