example 1

[0120]Linaclotide beads were prepared in the following manner using the components set forth in Table 1. First, a linaclotide solution was prepared by combining linaclotide, polyvinyl alcohol, calcium chloride, meglumine and water in the concentrations set forth in Table 1. The linaclotide solution was then pH-adjusted to about 2.5 and mixed until clear. Next, the linaclotide solution was layered onto isomalt beads by spraying the beads with the linaclotide solution using a Wurster process. The linaclotide-layered beads were then dried until the product loss on drying (LOD) was less than about 3%.

[0122]Linaclotide beads were prepared in the following manner using the components set forth in Table 3. First, a linaclotide solution was prepared by combining linaclotide, polyvinyl alcohol, calcium chloride, histidine and water in the concentrations set forth in Table 3. The linaclotide solution was then pH-adjusted to about 2.5 and mixed until clear. Next, the linaclotide solution was layered onto isomalt beads by spraying the beads with the linaclotide solution using a Wurster process. The linaclotide-layered beads were then dried until the product loss on drying (LOD) was less than about 3%.
