The present invention relates to a new pharmaceutical form for oral use, in the nature of delayed action and controlled absorption medicaments. The form of the present invention comprises an association of miniaturized granules obtained by high to very high compression: (a) with Ph control agents, (b) coated with excipients determining the slow penetration of digestive liquids, and/or (c) coated with a very thin layer of lipids. These miniaturized granules may contain glucose, may have pH control agents with different solubilities, and may be in the form of miniaturized granules with a pH gradient.
