A readily absorbable pharmaceutical composition of pharmacologically active agents, which per se are poorly absorbable, is disclosed which comprises a pharmacologically effective amount of at least one such pharmacologically active agent distributed in a vehicle comprising an absorption-enhancing amount of at least one fatty acid of medium chain length. The preparation is suited for formulating pharmacologically active bases, cardiac glycosides, steroids, antibiotics, sympathicomimetica, tranquilizing agents, or local anaesthetics. |
