An oral pharmaceutical multiple unit tabletted dosage form comprises tablet excipients and individually enteric-coated layered units of a core material contg. omeprazole (5-methoxy-2-(((4-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-2-pyridinyl)methyl) sulphinyl)-1H-benzimidazole) or 1 of its alkaline salts, or a single enantiomer, opt. mixed with alkaline cpds., covered with 1 or more layers, at least 1 being an enteric coating layer. The mechanical properties of the enteric coating layer ensure that acid resistance of the individual coated units is not significantly affected when they are compressed with excipients into tablets. |
