The present invention provides a controlled release composition showing release of an active ingredient (proton pump inhibitor) controlled in two or more steps at different release rates, which contains 1) a release-controlled part A capable of controlling release of the active ingredient to occur at a predetermined rate, 2) a release-controlled part B capable of controlling release of the active ingredient to occur at a predetermined rate lower than the release rate of the release-controlled part A, and where necessary, 3) a release-controlled part C capable of controlling release of the active ingredient to occur at a predetermined rate faster than the release rate of the release-controlled part B, wherein the release of the active ingredient from the release-controlled part B precedes the release of the active ingredient from the release-controlled part A (when release-controlled part C is contained, the release of the active ingredient from the release-controlled part C precedes the release of the active ingredient from the release-controlled part B).

The present invention discloses coating compositions with taste masking property, comprising a blend of pH sensitive polymers and optionally a pH independent polymer or a blend of the pH sensitive polymer and pH independent polymer used for taste masking of highly bitter drugs. The pH sensitive polymers used comprise the acid soluble polymers and the enteric polymers. The process for the preparation of taste masked pharmaceutical compositions of the bitter drugs comprising the said coating compositions is disclosed. The concomitant use of the polymers inhibits the release of the bitter drug at the pH of saliva. The said coating compositions deliver substantial amount of the bitter drug immediately with improved palatability.

The present invention discloses compositions, comprising a lipid-polymer matrix to mask the bitter or unpleasant taste of the medicament. The lipid or a blend of lipids, are used in combination with the pH dependent polymer where the said polymer is acid soluble or swellable The process for the preparation of taste masked pharmaceutical compositions of the bitter drugs comprising the said lipid-polymer compositions are disclosed. The concomitant use of the acid soluble polymer, which remains collapsed at the pH of saliva, inhibits the release of drug at that pH and hence they further help in bitterness inhibition. The said compositions deliver substantial amount of the bitter drug immediately at the gastric pH with improved palatability.
