Abstract
An L-menthol-containing multiparticulate formulation includes a plurality of individual enteric coated cores containing L-menthol from an at least 80% pure L-menthol source. The enteric coated cores are effective to release at least about 35% of the L-menthol within about two hours, and at least about 80% of the L-menthol within about eight hours after being placed in an environment having a pH of 5 to 8. The L-menthol multiparticulate formulation can be used to treat gastrointestinal disorders.
