Abstract: A coating agent for a pharmaceutical solid preparation imparts an unpackaged pharmaceutical solid preparation with excellent barrier properties equivalent to those of a PTP sheet without affecting the disintegration properties of the pharmaceutical solid preparation. The coating agent for a pharmaceutical solid preparation includes a polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of 950 to 25,000 and a swelling clay, wherein the mass ratio of the polyethylene glycol and the swelling clay is 2:8 to 6:4.

Abstract: A film coating agent for a solid formulation includes a water-soluble cellulose derivative, swelling clay, a cationic surfactant, and a fatty acid, wherein mass ratio of the swelling clay to the water-soluble cellulose derivative is 2:8 to 8:2, and content of the cationic surfactant is not less than 0.5 equivalents and not more than 3.0 equivalents relative to a cation exchange equivalent of the swelling clay.

Abstract: A coating material for a solid formulation is capable of stably retaining the effective ingredient in the solid formulation for a prolonged period even in unpacked condition in such a manner that the solid formulation can be used in a single-dose formulation. The coating material for a solid formulation includes a high hydrogen-bonding resin and a swelling clay and, when coated on a solid formulation and dried, forms a coating film in which the laminated structures of the aforementioned swelling clay are oriented planarly and dispersed in a network fashion.

Abstract: A method improves stability of drugs in a solid pharmaceutical formulation against oxygen and water vapor by coating the solid pharmaceutical formulation with a coating material including a high hydrogen-bonding resin and a swelling clay.

Abstract: A montelukast-containing coated solid preparation can be applied to one-dose package, wherein the humidity stability of montelukast or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof contained therein is maintained even when the preparation is unpacked. A coated solid preparation contains as an active ingredient montelukast or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof and is coated with a coating layer comprising polyvinyl alcohol and swelling clay, wherein the mass ratio of the above-described polyvinyl alcohol to the above-described swelling clay in the above-described coating layer is 8:2 to 3:7.

Abstract: A coated solid preparation includes an active ingredient including valproic acid or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof, and a coating layer containing polyvinyl alcohol and swelling clay coating the active ingredient wherein mass ratio of the polyvinyl alcohol to the swelling clay is 8:2 to 3:7 and the swelling clay is dispersed as a laminated structure.
