摘要:
Pharmaceutical compositions are described, containing an alkylammonium salt of a 2-arylpropionic acid, which are suitable for parenteral administration and do not generate pain upon injection. The compositions contain preferably ketoprofen, ibuprofen, naproxen or tiaprofenic acid in aqueous solution at pH in the range between 8 and 9. The alkylammonium salt is preferably a L-lysine salt. Compositions at pH=8,5 have shown to cause less pain upon injection than other known compositions.
摘要:
A process for the sterilization of water insoluble solid medicinal substances is described. The process provides the sterilization of drug substances, which are suitable for pulmonary administration. In particular, the process is used in industrial plants for the production of formulations of sterile glucocorticoids for inhalation delivery, so as to avoid any modifications in particle size distribution and in the impurities profile of the drug. the process is carried out by heating a mixture of micronized glucocorticoid and purified water only, preferably at a temperature of about 120° C. for 20 minutes. The process is particularly efficient and economic for the steam sterilization of beclomethasone dipropionate in formulations for pulmonary delivery.
