Solid dihydropyridines, e.g. nifedipine and nimodipine preparations having a maximum standard deviation of the active compound content of 3% contain 1 part by weight of nifedipine, 2 to 6 parts by weight of PVP with a mean molecular weight of 15,000 to 50,000, 3.5 to 15 parts by weight of cellulose, 0.25 to 4 parts by weight of starch and 0.5 to 4 parts by weight of cross-linked insoluble PVPP, and, if appropriate, one or more further pharmaceutical auxiliaries and excipients. These preparations show a good release of dihydropyridine with good content uniformity. |
