摘要:
The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition of gabapentin wherein lactam level remains below 0.5% even after more than two years of storage at 25 to 30°C and 60% relative humidity.

The invention relates to dry powder inhalation apparatus usually operable by breath of a user which provides for controlled and smooth transfer of medicament during multiple actuations by a user. A mechanism of the apparatus for achieving this controlled and smooth transfer includes a device (4) normally held adjacent a reservoir for receiving medicament in a cup or receptacle (15) and which is generally movable transversely of a longitudinal axis of the apparatus to delivery channels of the apparatus. This bodily shifting of the device (4) is achieved by a yoke acting on an abutment (16) thereof. Spillage of medicament in the apparatus is avoided.
摘要:
Mycophenolic acid can be isolated from fermentation broth easily with low consumption of organic solvents to produce mycophenolic acid that is surprisingly high in purity. The process can be accomplished by addition of a suitable base to the whole fermentation broth, i.e., a suspension obtained by submerged cultivation of a microorganism producing mycophenolic acid, to increase pH of the liquid phase to the value from about (9) to about (13). Mycophenolic acid is thus extracted from the mycelium to the liquid phase and the exhausted mycelium can be separated easily by filtration.

The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for oral administration, comprising a core of active ingredient and an outer non-active layer formed on the core by application of pressure.
摘要:
A dry powder inhaler (10) including a housing (18) having a mouthpiece (16) and a delivery passageway connected to the mouthpiece, a magazine positioned within the housing and including a plurality of reservoirs for holding doses of dry powder, and wherein the magazine is movable within the housing so that the reservoirs are sequentially positioned within the delivery passageway of the housing upon movement of the magazine, a cover (14) connected to the housing and movable to open and close the mouthpiece of the housing, and a rake connected to the cover, extending into the housing and engageable with the magazine so that, upon the cover being moved to open the mouthpiece, the rake moves the magazine and causes one of the reservoirs of the magazine to be positioned within the delivery passageway.
摘要:
A metered dose inhaler for use with a pressurized aerosol container (25) which is preferably breath-actuated. A preload (460) is applied to the internal aerosol valve by an amount sufficient to result in a dose release, but this is prevented by the application of a pneumatic resisting force. The inhaler comprises a release device (520) which, upon actuation, releases the resisting force and allows the preload to actuate the aerosol valve. A metered dose of medicament is then released for inhalation by the patient. The pneumatic resisting force is established by a negative pressure region (600) defined in part by a diaphragm (440). The diaphragm (440) includes a central disk (441) of a first, relatively high stiffness material 'A' and a peripheral ring, coupled by a flexure of a second, relatively low stiffness material 'B'.

摘要:
Use of 17β-[(1-methyl-1,4-dihydro-3-pyridinyl)carbonyloxy]estra-1,3,5(10) trien-3-ol, also known as E2-CDS, in the preparation of a medicament for treating female sexual dysfunction in a female mammal, employing very low doses of the compound which do not elevate average steady-state peripheral estradiol levels to above about 50-60 pg/ml. Also, use of E2-CDS in the preparation of a medicament for treating male sexual function in a male mammal, employing very low doses of the compound which do not substantially elevate average peripheral estradiol levels to above average normal peripheral levels in the male mammal.
