ABSTRACT:
A water-dispersible tablet comprises acyclovir and a dispersing agent. The dispersing agent is a swellable clay such as a smectite e.g., Veegum F or bentonite, and is present within the granules of the tablet to provide a tablet which is capable of dispersing in water within 3 minutes to provide a dispersion which will pass through a 710 .mu.m sieve. The tablet also includes a cellulostic excipient. The tablet can be optionally film-coated, in which case the dispersion time is less than 5 minutes.
