Pharmaceutical compositions containing a proanthocyanidin polymer
composition which are useful for the treatment and prevention of
secretory diarrhea are provided. The invention specifically relates to
pharmaceutical formulations of a proanthocyanidin polymer composition
which has been isolated from a Croton spp. or a Calophyllum spp. In
particular, the invention relates to a formulation of a proanthocyanidin
polymer composition which protects the composition from the effects of
stomach acid after oral administration, particularly to those
formulations which are enteric coated. The invention also relates to
methods of producing a directly compressible proanthocyanidin polymer
composition, as well as compositions containing the directly compressible
proanthocyanidin polymer composition.
