  • Example 3 Liquid Displacement Dissolution Test of Particulate Pharmaceutical Composition Dissolution of Example 3 or Comparative Examples 2 to 4 (masking particles before tableting) reflecting vivo using an automatic 6-series dissolution tester The test was conducted. 30 minutes after adding a particulate pharmaceutical composition containing 10 mg of drug to JP1 300 mL, 600 mL of 5-fold concentrated JP2 was added thereto, and dissolution of the drug from the preparation was measured (paddle rotation speed: 50 rotations / Min). In addition, the drug dissolution rate from the preparation after 45 minutes obtained in this test correlates with Cmax and AUC in the dog oral administration test. The obtained elution profile is shown in FIG.
  • the particulate pharmaceutical composition coated with polyvinyl acetal diethylaminoacetate (Example 3) has a higher D45min (drug elution rate after 45 minutes) than the particulate pharmaceutical composition coated with a film comprising other components in the liquid replacement test. showed that.
  • the particulate pharmaceutical composition of the present invention has a drug dispersibility and dissolution property equal to or higher than that of a solid preparation containing atorvastatin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof currently provided in the medical field. It is useful as a pharmaceutical composition that can achieve rapid dispersibility and dissolution in the digestive tract even when an unpleasant taste is masked in the oral cavity.
  • atorvastatin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof currently provided in the medical field.
