The present invention relates to novel, liquid and semi-solid pharmaceutical compositions which can be administered in liquid form or can be used for preparing capsules containing such pharmaceutical compositions. Also provided are methods of using and processes for preparing the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention.

Oral liquid compositions

The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for the oral administration of an H.sub.2 -antagonist. The composition includes an H.sub.2 -antagonist and a silicate taste-masking agent capable of forming an adsorbate complex with the H.sub.2 -antagonist wherein the complex exhibits a non-bitter taste. The complex inhibits the release of the H.sub.2 -antagonist in the oral cavity.

Oral compositions of H2-antagonists

Proteinaceous medicaments such as erythropoetin, insulin and calcitonin are formulated in a medium comprising a polyol pharmaceutical solvent combined as co-solvent with a lipid pharmaceutical solvent. The formulation is adapted for oral administration as a liquid as well as a filled hard or soft gelatin capsule. The preferred polyol solvent is polyethylene glycol/propylene glycol; the preferred lipid solvent is oleic acid.
