  • Patent number: 7531499
    Abstract: The present invention provides a medicinal composition comprising (1) a pharmacologically active substance, (2) a drug absorbefacient and (3) a taurine compound or a polyamine. A taurine compound has an effect of suppressing or preventing damage of the intestinal mucous membrane, and therefore adding the taurine compound to a medicinal composition containing a pharmacologically active substance and a drug absorbefacient makes it possible to suppress or prevent damage of the intestinal mucosa. A polyamine improves the absorbability of pharmacologically active substances, and therefore adding the polyamine to a medicinal composition containing a pharmacologically active substance and a drug absorbefacient makes it possible to decrease the dose of the drug absorbefacient, thereby suppressing or preventing damage of the intestinal mucosa.
