Readily enterally absorbable pharmaceutical compositions of per se poorly enterally absorbable pharmacologically active agents

摘要

A readily enterally absorbable pharmaceutical composition of pharmacologically active agents, which per se are poorly enterally absorbable, is disclosed which comprises a pharmacologically, effective amount of at least one such pharmacologically active agent distributed in a vehicle comprising an absorption-enhancing amount of at least one partial glyceride of a fatty acid of long chain length. The preparation is suited for formulating cardiac glycosides, steroids, or anti-capillary fragility agents.
