Patent number: 9555019Abstract: The present invention relates to a granulate comprising granules made up of 40-99 wt. % of lactose particles and 1-60 wt. % of a binding component that holds together the lactose particles within the granules. Said granules have a mass weighted average diameter of 50-500 ?m and said binding component is a solid dispersion or a solid solution of 10-75 wt. % of a cannabinoid in 25-80 wt. % of a lipophilic matrix. The lipophilic matrix contains at least 80 wt. % sucrose fatty acid mono-ester, the fatty acid residue being selected from C8-C18 fatty acids. The aforementioned granulate can be processed into oral dosage units in the form of tablets for oral delivery. The invention further provides a method for the manufacture of the granulate.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2016Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: Echo Pharmaceuticals B.V.Inventors: Jan Albert De Vries, Maria Vanesa Fernandez Cid, Ana Maria Heredia Lopez
