Title of Invention

"PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION FOR IMPROVING PALATABILITY OF DRUGS AND PROCESS FOR PREPARATION THEREOF"

Abstract The present invention discloses compositions, comprising a lipid-polymer matrix to mask the bitter or unpleasant taste of the medicament. The lipid or a blend of lipids, are used in combination with the pH dependent polymer where the said polymer is acid soluble or sellable. The process for the preparation of taste masked pharmaceuical compositions of the bitter drugs comprising the said lipid-polymer compositions are disclosed. The concomitant use of the acid soluble polymer, which remains collapsed at the pH of saliva, inhibits the release of drug at that pH and hence they further help in bitterness inhibition. The said compositions delover substantial amount of the bitter drug immediately at the gastric pH with improved palatability.
