A compressed tablet consisting of:

• (a) about 24.48 wt. %, based on total weight of the compressed table, of solid particles;
• (b) about 30.14 wt. %, based on total weight of the compressed tablet, of microcrystalline cellulose,
• (c) about 45.20 wt. %, based on total weight of the compressed tablet, of calcium phosphate, and
• (d) about 0.18 wt. %, based on total weight of the compressed tablet, of magnesium stearate, wherein
