Palatable solid pharmaceutical compositions

Abstract

Lipid-containing, molded pharmaceutical compositions, comprising: (a) from about 10% to about 50% of a lipid material having a melting point of from about 26.degree. C. to about 37.degree. C.; (b) from about 10% to about 50% of a particulate dispersant material; (c) from about 0.1% to about 3% of an emulsifier; and (d) a safe and effective amount of a pharmaceutical active material; wherein the particulate materials in said composition have a mean particle size of from about 4 microns to about 10 microns, with less than about 10% of the particulates greater than about 30 microns in size. Preferably, the measured viscosity of the compositions is less than about 10,000 cps at about 40.degree. C.
