Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a composition for the sugar-coating of a solid pharmaceutical preparation capable of forming a uniform sugarcoating layer owing to its excellent spreadability and giving a sugar-coated tablet improved in impact resistance, appearance stability and disintegration property. CONSTITUTION:The composition for the sugar-coating of a solid pharmaceutical preparation is characterized by the addition of calcium lactate to an aqueous solution of sucrose compounded with pullulan. When pullulan is dissolved in a concentrated aqueous solution of sucrose, a thread-forming property develops at a high pullulan concentration and the phenomenon is a factor to inhibit the formation of uniform sugar-coated layer. The spreadability of a pullulan- compounded sucrose solution is remarkably improved by the addition of calcium lactate to enable the formation of a uniform sugar-coated layer.

[0008] Pullulan has good solubility in water, does not show changes over time due to protein denaturation like gelatin, and forms a strong film. These properties are preferable as a binder for sugar coating. However, when pullulan is dissolved in a high-concentration sucrose aqueous solution, it exhibits stringiness when the pullulan concentration is increased, which is a factor that prevents the formation of a uniform sugar coating layer. However, the present invention was completed by discovering that by incorporating calcium lactate into a sucrose aqueous solution containing pullulan, the spreadability was significantly improved and a uniform sugar coating layer could be formed. Furthermore, the sugar-coating composition of the present invention, which is a combination of pullulan and calcium lactate, has a high weight increase rate during sugar-coating, so the number of times and time for sugar-coating is shortened, and the sugar-coating layer is strong, so coating is easier than with conventional sugar-coating. It has the advantage that the amount can be reduced.
