Rapidly disintegrating pharmaceutical dosage form and process for preparation thereof.

摘要

The present invention relates to a compressed pharmaceutical dosage form containing pharmaceutical particles coated with a taste-masking composition, a water-disintegratable, compressible carbohydrate and a binder. These components are dry blended and compressed into a dosage form, such as a tablet, having a hardness sufficient to cause the carbohydrate to disintegrate within 30 seconds after oral administration, thereby allowing the coated particles to be swallowed.
