Claims
- 1. A composition comprising:
(a) micro-granules comprising a proton pump inhibitor coated with an enteric coating; and (b) a liquid suspension vehicle having a pH less than 6.0 and having a viscosity sufficient to suspend the micro-granules.
- 2. The composition of claim 1 wherein the micro-granules are between 100 μm and 900 μm.
- 3. The composition of claim 1 wherein the composition has a viscosity of greater than 500 cP.
- 4. The composition of claim 3 wherein the active ingredient is lansoprazole.
- 6. A method of treating a patient with a gastrointestinal disorder comprising providing to the patient a composition comprising micro-granules of an enterically coated proton pump inhibitor and a liquid suspension vehicle having a pH less than 6.0 and a viscosity sufficient to suspend the micro-granules.
- 7. A kit comprising:
a) a first container comprising micro-granules comprising a proton pump inhibitor coated with an enteric coating; and b) a second container comprising a liquid; wherein the first or the second container further comprises an acidic excipient and wherein the first or second container further comprises a thickening agent such that when the contents of the first and second container are combined, the resulting liquid has a viscosity sufficient to suspend the micro-granules.
- 8. The kit of claim 7 wherein the proton pump inhibitor is lansoprazole.
- 9. The kit of claim 8 wherein the viscosity of the liquid is greater than 500 cP.
- 10. The kit of claim 7 wherein the micro-granules are between 100 μm and 900 μm.
