Abstract
According to this invention, the combination of a solid particulate water insoluble drug with a solid fish gelatin coating is produced by coacervation of the fish gelatin. The fish gelatin being soluble at ambient temperatures provides a basis for relatively low temperature coacervation impossible with other gelatins. Coacervation is brought about by the addition of conventional coacervation agents and the coacervating suspension containing gelatin and the agents is rendered insoluble by the addition of a suitable fixative such as glutaraldehyde.
