Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions are provided which include enteric-coated pellets. The enteric-coated pellets include pure cellulose cores. A coating is present on the cores which contains 1) a proton pump inhibitor with benzimidazole structure in an amount greater than 10.5% by weight with respect to the total weight of the enteric-coated pellets, 2) one or more of lysine, histidine, and L-arginine, and 3) polyvinylpyrrolidone, wherein the dibasic amino acid is present in an amount less than or equal to 10% by weight in relation to the weight of the proton pump inhibitor. An enteric coating disposed over said coating. Enteric-coated pellets that contain pure cellulose cores having an average diameter between 150 and 300 microns have an average diameter between 350 and 590 microns and the enteric-coated pellets that contain pure cellulose cores with an average diameter between 300 and 500 microns have an average diameter between 500 and 710 microns.

Abstract: Procedure for preparing enteric-coated pellets containing a proton pump inhibitor with benzimidazole structure, useful for preparing multi-particle pharmaceutical compositions for oral use that comprises the following stages: I) coat pure cellulose cores with a hydroalcoholic suspension that contains the proton pump inhibitor, a dibasic amino acid and polyvinylpyrrolidone; II) isolate the coated pure cellulose cores obtained in Stage I; III) apply an enteric coating to the particles obtained in Stage II above; and IV) dry the particles obtained in Stage III above and separate by size.

Abstract: Method for producing enteric microcapsules without coating, containing diclofenac or one of the salts thereof with satisfactory anti-inflammatory activity and low gastric aggressiveness; and a pharmaceutical composition containing them. The method comprises a) preparing a mixture in water-ethanol with an alginate salt, adding diclofenac or one of the salts thereof previously diluted with a surfactant and sodium bicarbonate; b) adding the previous solution to a solution with a calcium salt; c) resuspending the microcapsules obtained and isolated in an aqueous solution of the alginate salt; and d) isolating, drying and sieving through 1000 and 250 micron meshes the microcapsules obtained; and selecting the fraction comprised between both meshes. The pharmaceutical composition can be an oral composition, tablets, chewable tablets, or a powder for suspension in water.
