  • Pharmaceutical pellet formulation
    Patent number: 6149942
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical pellet formulation having a core containing omeprazole as an active ingredient, and also having an outer, enteric coating encasing the core. Titanium dioxide is added to the core, and optionally, to the enteric coating in order to retard decomposition of the omeprazole resulting from the action of penetrating moisture and solvents, thus greatly improving the storage stability of the omeprazole formulation.
