Pharmaceutical tablets containing tibolone and a coating

Abstract

The present invention relates to a stabilized pharmaceutical tablet comprising an amount of from 0.1 to 10% by weight of tibolone provided with a coating, such as a film coating, a sugar coating, a sugar film coating or a “wrap” coating. The invention further relates to the use of a coating for stabilizing a pharmaceutical tablet comprising tibolone. Preferably, the coating is a sugar coating or a sugar film coating. Preferably, the sugar comprises sucrose. These tablets were shown to have a lower amount of OM38, i.e. an isomerization degradation product of tibolone, after storage as compared to uncoated tibolone tablets.
