The invention concerns an improved multiparticulate tablet disintegrating
in the mouth in contact with saliva in less than 40 seconds. The
invention is characterized in that it is based on particles of coated
active principle, said particles having intrinsic compression properties
and a mixture of carriers, the proportion of carrier mixture relative to
coated active principle particles being 0.4 to 6 parts by weight, the
carrier mixture comprising: a disintegrating agent; a diluting soluble
agent with binding properties; a lubricant; a permeabilizing agent; and
advantageously lubricants, sweeteners, flavoring and coloring agents, the
proportion of disintegrating agent and soluble agent relative to the
tablet mass being 1 to 15% by weight for the former and 30 to 90% by
weight for the latter.
