Patent 6,506,407 (2806 words) |
 | Saccharides that have conventionally been used as components of preparations are degraded by the digestive enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract or directly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. |
 | The saccharide (c) used in the present invention, which is degraded by enterobacteria in the lower part of the gastrointestinal tract to generate an organic acid, is not limited by whether it is a monosaccharide or a polysaccharide as long as it is rapidly degraded by enterobacteria to generate an organic acid. |
 | It is recommended therefore that a composition containing the organic acid-generating saccharide (c) and a drug (b) is coated with the organic acid-soluble polymer material (a) or a composition comprising a drug (b) coated with the polymer material (a) and the organic acid-generating saccharide (c) are coated with a water permeable release-controlling material (e). |
