A dry manufacturing process for the production of a pharmaceutical formulation of a benzimidazole and an alkaline substance is described. A tablet is compressed directly from a dry powder or a dry particulate matter avoiding any liquid or excipient conventionally used as a wet binder. The manufacturing process has the advantage of being simple and cost efficient. At the same time an expensive drying step is superfluous. The resulting pharmaceutical formulation has a good stability and a good dissolution profile.
