Abstract:
Solid pharmaceutical dosage form for the release of at least one Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) in the oral cavity comprising a core coated by at least one film coating. The core comprises at least one API. One or more organoleptically disturbing sensations induced by one or several of the APIs and/or of inactive components of the solid pharmaceutical dosage form is/are reduced by constituents of said film coating. Said constituents comprise at least one film-forming polymer and at least one flavoring agent or at least one sweetener.
