摘要

Composition (A) comprises cefuroxime axetil (I) in the form of particles, entirely enclosed in a coating of at least one lipid (insoluble in water but dispersing or decomposing in contact with gastrointestinal fluid), a bulk sweetener and a binder. (A) Also contains a sweetening system (II) and a texture modifier (III), in amounts so that the bitter taste of (I) is masked. An Independent claim is included for an orally administered medicament (preferably in aqueous suspension or granule form), comprising (A) together with carriers or excipients.
