Stable sodium aspirin tablet compositions

摘要

Compositions are provided for the preparation of stable sodium aspirin tablets. The compositions comprise dry, crystalline sodium aspirin, an anhydrous binder that is unreactive to sodium aspirin and a hydrogenated animal or vegetable oil lubricant but lack the traditional tablet disintegrant. Tablets produced from these compositions can be stored for prolonged periods of time yet disintegrate in water at a rate comparable to that of ordinary aspirin.
