摘要:
The invention provides a process for the preparation of an orally administrable calcium composition, said process comprising the steps of: (i) obtaining a physiologically tolerable particulate calcium compound having a mean particle size in the range 3 to 40 mu m, having a crystalline structure and having a surface area of 0.1 to 1.2 m /g; (ii) mixing said calcium compound with a water-soluble diluent and an aqueous solution of a water soluble binder in a fluid bed granulation apparatus and drying the resulting mixture to produce a first granulate; (iii) optionally mixing said first granulate with one or more further components to produce a second granulate; and (iv) optionally compressing said first or second granulate to form tablets.
摘要:
A granulate, possibly pressed into the form of tablets, contains at least one insoluble, complex bound or barely soluble material in powder form, which can bind or neutralize acids, and which does not react with the acid of the effervescent system, and an effervescent system, consisting of at least one organic, edible acid and at least one alkaline or alkaline earth carbonate and/or bicarbonate. The active material is present in a quantity of 5 to 50 %, preferably 8 to 30 %, and in particular 12 to 25 % by weight. It has an acid binding power of between 2 and 40, preferably 3.5 to 25 mEq/g, does not react with the acid of the effervescent system and raises the pH value in 0.1 n HCl during 2 min. by a maximum of 0.5. It consists in particular of magnesium trisilicate, sucralfate and/or a bismuth salt. Each granule contains at least one acid component, at least one carbonate component and at least one active material bound to one another. The binding of the granulate components together is effected by a reaction product from an acid with a carbonate component and/or by at least one hydrocolloid, in particular xanthane, maltodextrin, galactomanane and/or tragacanth.

This invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for treating gastrointestinal distress comprising an effective amount of an antidiarrheal composition, e.g. loperamide, and an antiflatulent effective amount of simethicone and methods of treating gastrointestinal distress comprising administering such pharmaceutical compositions.
摘要:
The present invention pertains to an unpleasant taste masking composition which comprises a flavoring agent having a bitter taste or unpleasant off-note and a sufficient amount of a non-bitter intense sweetener to nullify the taste or off-note of the flavoring agent. The unpleasant taste masking composition may be used in ingestible products such as hard and soft confections, chewing gum compositions and the like. The present invention also pertains to a method for preparing the unpleasant taste masking compositions and the ingestible products in which they may be used.
摘要:
The invention provides compounds of the general formula (I) and physiologically acceptable salts and solvates thereof, wherein Ar represents the group where Q¹ represents a straight or branched C₁₋₃alkylene group, where Q² represents a group R³CO-, R³NHCO-, R³R⁴NSO₂- or R⁵SO₂-, where R³ and R⁴ each represent a hydrogen atom or a C₁₋₃alkyl group, and R⁵ represents a C₁₋₃alkyl group, R represents a hydrogen atom or a C₁₋₃alkyl group; R¹ and R² each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a methyl or ethyl group; and k represents an integer from 1 to 8; m represents zero or an integer from 2 to 7, and; n represents an integer from 1 to 7 with the proviso that the sum total of k, m and n is 4 to 12; X represents an oxygen or sulphur atom, and; Y and Z each represent a bond, or an oxygen or sulphur atom with the proviso that when Y is a bond m is zero, or when Y represents an oxygen or sulphur atom m is an integer from 2 to 7, or when Y and Z each independently represent an oxygen or sulphur atom then n is an integer from 2 to 7; Q represents a naphthalenyl group which may optionally be substituted by one or two groups selected from C₁₋₄alkyl, C₁₋₄alkoxy, hydroxy and halogen. The compounds have a stimulant action at β₂-adrenoreceptors and may be used in the treatment of diseases associated with reversible airways obstruction such as asthma and chronic bronchitis.
