- the pharmaceutical composition of the invention is a solid composition comprising an intragranular phase and an extragranular phase. It is a solid composition that is of a granular appearance, but includes non- granulated particles of the extragranular phase.
- the intragranular phase can be prepared by wet granulation of a mixture that comprises the active principle, a hydrophobic compound, and an agglutinating agent, according to conventional methods that are familiar to a person skilled in the art, such as those described in the book by Remington: The Science and
- the extragranular phase comprises a humectant.
- composition of the invention is prepared by mixing the intragranular phase with the extragranular phase, and then homogenizing the mixture.
- the active principle is gabapentin, and is selected from the group comprising its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvated, hydrated, or anhydrous.
- anhydrous gabapentin, gabapentin monohydrate, the sodium salt of gabapentin, and the calcium salt of gabapentin we may mention, for example, anhydrous gabapentin, gabapentin monohydrate, the sodium salt of gabapentin, and the calcium salt of gabapentin.
- Gabapentin containing less than 20 ppm of chloride ions is preferably used in the compositions of the invention.
- the physicochemical characteristics of said products, and of the other pharmaceutical excipients that are used for preparing the composition of the invention, are described in reference works that are accessible to a person skilled in the art, such as the Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients, 4th Edition, London, Pharmaceutical Press, 2003 [ISBN 0 85369 472 9] . These reference works also usually give the trade names under which said products are marketed.

- the agglutinating agent used is hydroxypropylcellulose .
- the extragranular phase of the composition of the invention comprises a humectant .
- a humectant is a compound or mixture of compounds that facilitates the wetting of the pharmaceutical composition when it comes into contact with water, so that it contributes to its dissolution, and to release of the active principle.
- the humectant is selected from the group comprising anionic surfactants, polyoxyethylenated esters of sorbitan and fatty acids with C12 to Ci ⁇ chain, polyoxyethylenated fatty acids with C1 6 to C22 chain, and/or mixtures thereof.
- the anionic surfactants are compounds that possess one or more functional groups that become ionized in aqueous solution giving rise to organic ions with a negative charge, and are responsible for the surface activity, which include good wetting properties.
