Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018115130A1] The invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for the taste-masking of poorly soluble drug substances wherein a melt of a poorly tasting drug is sorbed by water- dispersible, at least partially hydrophilic polymeric carrier particles. Prior to oral consumption, these drug-melt-treated polymeric carrier particles can be dispersed easily in water, yielding a drink suspension with a neutral taste. Alternatively, the drug-melt-treated polymeric carrier particles may be mixed with further excipients such as sugars, sweeteners or flavourants to provide a dosage form which upon dispersion lends a pleasant taste to the aqueous dispersion medium. The invention further provides an improved process for the preparation of these taste-masked compositions and dosage forms, for instance in heatable vacuum granulators.
