Pharmaceutical coatings in the form of aqueous dispersion of a water insoluble polymer prepared by dissolving the polymer in a water immiscible organic solvent, emulsifying the organic solution in water, optionally with the aid of additives, and stripping the organic solvent from the system to provide a colloidal, or near colloidal, aqueous dispersion or latex of small, even sized polymeric particles which are applied to pharmaceutical dosages from highly loaded latices. The latexes, which display resistance to bacterial and mold growth and, when combined with selected additives, provides convenient, attractive coating compositions which afford excellent protection and varied release properties to pharmaceutical dosages.
