Abstract

A peroral administration form for peptidic medicaments contains the peptidic medicament, in particular insulin, distributed in a gelatine or gelatine derivate matrix, besides usual pharmaceutical excipients and additives. By selecting an appropriate gelatine, the medicament is released in the small or large intestine, so that it is no longer enzymatically decomposed by peptidases.
