The purpose of present invention to provide a method for the production of an easy-to-take solid preparation, which is mainly characterized in that a coating processing for the easy-to-take property is simply performed by using a gelling agent in a dry process, without going through a wet condition, the easy-to-take solid preparation and the like. The present invention relates to a dry-process method for the production of an easy-to-take solid preparation wherein a compression-molded core is coated with a coating agent comprising a gelling agent that will show slipperiness when it is brought into contact with water, comprising directly applying only powder of the coating agent to a mortar inner surface, the bottom end surface of an upper-pestle, and the top end surface of a lower-pestle, and subsequently loading and integrally compression-molding a core-molding material; a powder composition for coating the solid preparation, which comprises a water-soluble polymer to be used in the aforementioned production method, and the like.
