<p>A multitude of non-tacky coated pellets (12) containing a pharmaceutical preparation is housed within a breakable packet (14) which, when broken, enables ready removal of the pellets for the oral administration of the preparation to a patient. The packet includes a blendable backing sheet (16) and a fracturable covering member (22) between which the pellets are held in a vacuum-sealed environment prior to use. The coating of the pellets also prevents dissolution of the preparation in the mouth to avoid the sensation of bitter medicinal taste.</p> |
