Abstract

The present invention relates to a novel pharmaceutical form, in the form of spheroids, containing tiagabine as active principle. The invention also covers the process for the preparation of such spheroids and multiparticulate pharmaceutical preparations, such as tablets, containing these spheroids. These pharmaceutical preparations are intended for the delivery of the spheroids they contain, and are characterized by the absence of an adverse effect on the release profile of the tiagabine contained in the spheroids following a possible compression step.
