Pharmaceutical suspension for oral administration

摘要

A pharmaceutical composition suitable for oral administration is provided, the composition comprising an aqueous medium having suspended therein a solid substance of low water solubility in particulate form, and further comprising a suspending agent and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable water-soluble or swellable nonsurfactant polymer, the total amount of all such polymers present being ineffective to (a) increase viscosity of the composition to a degree that significantly impairs pourability, or (b) significantly increase rate of sedimentation or phase separation, of the composition. The composition has improved mouth feel.
