It is intended to provide a medicinal composition having a high biological
availability and a process for producing the same which comprises
dispersing a drug component in two or more surfactants (for example,
surfactants belonging to the same series such as a long-chain fatty acid
glyceride having a long-chain polyoxyethylene in its hydrophilic group
with a medium-chain fatty acid glyceride having a short-chain
polyoxyethylene in its hydrophilic group), adding a small amount of water
thereto to give a semisolid or liquid medicinal composition in the form
of a microemulsion, and producing an oral preparation such as capsules by
using the same so as to form and sustain a stable microemulsion
containing the drug component (in particular, a hardly water-soluble drug
component) in the digestive tract.
