SUGAR COATINGS AND METHODS THEREFOR

摘要

Compositions particularly useful as coatings for solid dosage forms of therapeutic agents are provided, as are solid dosage forms comprising such coatings, processes for preparing such solid dosage forms, and the products of those processes. The coating compositions generally provide excellent strength and resistance to cracking, even when applied to flexible/swellable tablet cores such as hydrogel-type cores. The compositions also exhibit excellent odor-blocking characteristics.
