Abstract: Regarding an object of sufficient suppression of unpleasant taste in the oral cavity and quick dissolution in the gastrointestinal tract, which is generated when a drug having a strong unpleasant taste such as bitterness, astringency and the like is applied to a quickly disintegrating preparations in the oral cavity, this invention has achieved the aforementioned object for the first time by employing a constitution of coating a coat of a water-soluble polymer and a specified ratio of a pH-independent water-insoluble polymer and hydroxypropylcellulose.

Abstract: Provided is a preparation of ramosetron which is stable under irradiation with light. The solid pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can provide a stable preparation by blending a compound absorbing light having a specific wavelength with ramosetron which is unstable, usually under irradiation with light, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Particularly, this technique is useful because it is adaptable to a preparation containing ramosetron or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof at a low content or an orally disintegrating tablet containing ramosetron or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Also, the present invention relates to a method for stabilizing a solid pharmaceutical composition of ramosetron or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which is characterized by blending a compound having characteristics of absorbing light having a specific wavelength.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition comprising aminoalkyl methacrylate copolymer E, an acidic substance, and a poorly-soluble drug, wherein the aminoalkyl methacrylate copolymer E and the acidic substance are uniformly mixed, and solubility of the poorly-soluble drug is maintained for at least 30 minutes is disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention makes it possible to provide drug-containing coated microparticles for quick-disintegrating oral tablets wherein microparticles containing a drug with an unpleasant taste are coated with a film composed of (1) a pH-independent water-insoluble polymer accounting for 60% or more but less than 80% of the film and (2) a pH-independent water-soluble substance accounting for more than 20% to 40% or less of the film, these microparticles being characterized in that the rate of dissolution of the drug from the drug-containing microparticles is 0% to 10% in one minute and 80% to 100% in 30 minutes, and the average particle diameter is 350 ?m or less, in order to realize sufficient control of oral drug dissolution and fast gastrointestinal drug dissolution.
