COATING MATERIAL FOR SOLID MEDICINE AND SOLID MEDICINE FORMED WITH SAME

摘要

A coating material for solid medicines which is capable of stably holding the active ingredient of a solid medicine for long to such a degree that the solid medicine even in an unpacked state can be placed in a one-dose package. The coating material for solid medicines comprises a resin having a high hydrogen-bonding tendency and a swelling clay. When the coating material is applied to a solid medicine and dried, a coating film is formed in which the lamellar structures of the swelling clay have been oriented in a planar arrangement and dispersed in a network state.
