摘要:
The use of nor- and homo-bile acids derivatives as absorption enhancers for medicaments is described. Said derivatives show the advantage of improving the absorption of medicaments through mucosae without being metabolized by the intestinal flora, thus allowing a fast excretion. Moreover, the derivatives of the invention have a negligible toxicity.

Process for preparing sterile suspensions for inhalation comprising an active ingredient insoluble in water and wherein at least 80% of the particles of said active ingredient have a diameter between 3 and 5 μm, comprising the following stages: dissolving the active ingredient in the minimum quantity of an alcoholic solvent, optionally in the presence of a polyol and adding at least one surfactant, filtering the solution obtained in the previous stage through a sterilizing filter, adding the solution from stage (b) to sterile water under sonication to directly obtain a suspension wherein the particles have a reduced diameter.

摘要:
An inhalator for the inhalation of powdered drug preparations from capsules which contain the powdered preparations. The inhalator has a mouthpiece or nosepiece and an assembly including: a capsule holder including a capsule chamber, the capsule chamber having an air inlet opening and an air outlet opening; a capsule opening device for opening a capsule; a finger-operable actuator. The inhalator further includes a rigid outer shell including a lower shell part hinged to an upper shell part so that the shell is openable and closable, the shell serving to cover and protect the assembly and the mouthpiece or nosepiece. The assembly and the mouthpiece or nosepiece are removable as a hinged unit from the open shell as a hinged unit without dismantling either unit, or the shell is arranged so that the contours of the rim of each shell part match the contours of the rim of the other around each shell part when the shell is in the closed condition, or the assembly is retained in the lower shell part and is not moveable in normal use with respect to the lower shell part.
摘要:
An instrument for inserting a suppository including a tube, having a first end adapted to receive the suppository and a second end, a plunger disposed in the tube and moveable therein to eject the suppository from the first end by causing an action of pushing the suppository from behind. Retaining tongues are splayed outwards for ejection of the suppository in response to movement of the plunger in the tube, via contacting cooperation between at least one part of the plunger and at least one part of the tube. Securement mechanism secure the plunger in the tube at first position in which the suppository is retained in the first end of the tube, while allowing a user to move the plunger to actuate the instrument, and to secure the plunger in the tube at a second position which is only achievable after the plunger has been moved to eject the suppository.
