Abstract
An oral pharmaceutical dosage form comprising an acid susceptible proton pump inhibitor and one or more antacid agents or an alginate in a fixed formulation, wherein the proton pump inhibitor is protected by an enteric coating layer and an optional separating layer in between the proton pump inhibitor and the enteric coating. The fixed formulation is in the form of multilayered tablets, sachets or multiple unit tableted dosage forms. The multiple unit dosage form is most preferred. The new fixed formulation is especially useful in the treatment of disorders associated with dyspepsia such as heartburn.
