Abstract

See full text

A pharmaceutical granular composition and method are provided for masking the taste of unpleasant tasting drugs, wherein drug cores are coated with separate layers of aqueous dispersions of methacrylate ester copolymers, preferably, poly(ethylacrylate, methyl methacrylate) to which quaternary ammonium groups have been introduced to modify the permeability of the ester. Additionally, the coating composition may contain plasticizers and conventional excipients. The coating system releases drug by diffusion and is influenced by drug solubility and media pH. The coated pharmaceutical granules of the invention can be used to prepare chewable tablets with good palatability and bioavailability.
