Abstract
The present invention relates to a granulate comprising granules made up of 40-99 wt. % of lactose particles and 1-60 wt. % of a binding component that holds together the lactose particles within the granules. Said granules have a mass weighted average diameter of 50-500 μm and said binding component is a solid dispersion or a solid solution of 10-75 wt. % of a cannabinoid in 25-80 wt. % of a lipophilic matrix. The lipophilic matrix contains at least 80 wt. % sucrose fatty acid mono-ester, the fatty acid residue being selected from C-Cfatty acids. The aforementioned granulate can be processed into oral dosage units in the form of tablets for oral delivery. The invention further provides a method for the manufacture of the granulate.
