A soft gelatin capsule with a filling including lysine clonixinate as an active ingredient and in a hydrophilic matrix and with a shell comprising gelatin, a plasticizer and sorbitol, wherein the plasticizer in many instances will be glycerol but may comprise the sorbitol alone. The presence of sorbitol in the gelatin capsule of a lysine clonixinate dosage form imparts unexpectedly good drug release and stability thereto.
