FIELD: medicine, gastroenterology, pharmacy.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a solid composition eliciting with an anti-ulcer activity and to a method for its preparing. Pharmaceutical composition consists of a core containing famotidine as an active component and starch, aerosil, stearic acid salt as accessory inert substances wherein a core is covered by polymeric envelope. Core comprises glucose and stearic acid as an accessory inert substance and magnesium stearate as a stearic acid salt. Polymeric envelope comprises oxypropylmethylcellulose, propylene glycol, castor oil, talc and titanium dioxide taken in the definite ratio of all components in the composition. Method for preparing pharmaceutical composition involves preparing raw, mixing therapeutically effective amount of famotidine with glucose and starch, moistening the mixture with starch paste, granulation, drying wetted granulate, repeated granulation, powdering dry granules, tableting and applying polymeric envelope containing oxypropylmethylcellulose on prepared cores with addition of titanium dioxide, propylene glycol, castor oil and talc. Invention provides enhancement of degradability, solubility and stability in storing.
EFFECT: improved method for preparing, valuable pharmaceutical properties of composition.
