Abstract: A composition for delivery of a medicament that has a bitter taste and/or causes throat catch is provided. The composition contains Carbomer 934, Carbomer 971, Carbomer 974, PEG-5M or a mixture thereof in an amount sufficient to mask the bitter taste of the medicament and/or throat catch.

Abstract: There is provided a coating composition that masks the undesirable taste of a pharmaceutically active ingredient, i.e. drug or medicine, that is taken orally. The coating composition is comprised of dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate and neutral methacrylic acid ester, a cellulose ester polymer, and an alkaline modifier.

Abstract: There is provided a coating composition that masks the undesirable taste of a pharmaceutically active ingredient, i.e. drug or medicine, that is consumed orally. The coating composition has polyvinyl acetate, and a dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate and neutral methacrylic acid ester. Optionally, an alkaline modifier may be included in the coating composition to enhance release of the active ingredient.

Abstract: Gelatin coated pharmaceutical dosage units containing, for example, analgesic compounds, such as aspirin, stabilized with a proteolytic enzyme, such as pepsin, are described.

Abstract: A tamper-resistant dosage form capsule for the oral administration of therapeutic agents comprises a two-part capsule which is shrunk around a caplet so that the outer wall of the caplet is bound to the inner walls of both parts of the capsule. The caplet is placed into the capsule, and the dosage form is then subjected to relatively high humidity and temperature conditions, followed by drying the dosage form in a lower humidity environment, so that the capsule is shrunk to conform to the contours of the caplet and both parts of the capsule are bonded to the caplet.

Abstract: A capsule shaped tablet containing a pharmaceutically active ingredient in which the tablet has a cap portion and a body portion physically bound to each other; the cap portion having a larger outside diameter than the body; the tablet may be provided with a coating of a film forming polymer to simulate a hard gelatin capsule dosage form.
