This is one of the inactive ingredients of an OTC Kampo drug, I guess it maybe maltodextrin or Maltose. Is my guess good?
Thank you!

Powdered sugar is usually written 粉砂糖 in Japanese. What you have literally means "candy flour."

powder candy
Note from asker:
| Because candy with its meaning as crystallized sugar is chiefly used in Britain, so, I guess in this context, powered sugar may be a better-suited one. |

sweetener
It's some kind of sweetener but it doesn't specify which one. It can be sucrose, glucose, xylitol, saccharin ...
The substance is apparently in the form of powder, but the "powder" part is not essential and thus can be omitted. See 「アメ粉」 in 別表2 below.

When アメ粉 is thrown in, it is in the form of powder. However, once mixed with other ingredients, it doesn't retain the powder shape. (I don't think the sweetener is sprinkled on the surface of the medicine as in some lollies. ) Hence it's not necessary to translate 粉 part. That's why they allow to omit 粉 when listing アメ粉 as an ingredient of drugs.
