Pantoprazole sodium multiparticulates are described which avoid sticking
to nasogastric and gastronomy tubes. The pantoprazole multiparticulates
have a spheroid core of pantoprazole or an enantiomer thereof, or a salt
thereof, a surfactant, and a disintegrant; a sub coat which is comprised
of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose(hypromellose) and water, an enteric coat
on the sub-coat, and a final seal coat over the enteric coat, which is
composed of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose(hypromellose) and water.
