ABSTRACT:
The medicament of the present invention and its process of manufacturing employs a caplet or tablet core with a clear or single color uniform covering which can be applied either through an enrobing process, by spraying or by a single dip-coating step. The core itself can have a first color or be colorless, and its clear or single color covering has the outer surface of one end or one side colored by a suitable dye to provide a two-color appearance. The dye can be applied by dipping or spray painting with a suitable jet-spraying apparatus. In a preferred embodiment, the covering is of a clear gelatinous material.
