Water soluble, gelatin-free dip coatings for pharmaceutical solid dosage forms such as tablets comprising HPMC and xanthan gum, carrageenan, and mixtures thereof, or HPMC and castor oil or maltodextrin.

Method for dip coating dosage forms

A simulated capsule-like medicament comprising a dual subcoating comprising an initial subcoating of a water soluble film forming polymer, e.g. povidone and a secondary subcoating of a mixture of two soluble film forming polymers, e.g. povidone and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and a hydrophobic plasticizer, e.g. castor oil, which provides for a smooth uniform and substantially bubble free outer coating, e.g. gelatin, for the capsule-like medicament; and a process of making such medicaments.
