Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for forming a micro-prilled poloxamer used specially in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry as a dispersant or solubilizer and a vehicle presenting sustained release properties. SOLUTION: The method for forming a micro-prilled poloxamer comprises using spraying gas at a pressure higher than ordinary pressure, a spraying nozzle at high spraying gas temperature and a high feed temperature for reducing poloxamer viscosity, and optionally, sieving after forming prills in a prilling column. The poloxamer prills are specially used in pharmaceutical preparations, being spherical with a nominal average size of preferably 106 μm or less. This method is highly cost-effective, being rapid in preparation. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
A medicament carrier composition includes a medicament and a polymer component including a polyvinylpyrrolidone having a weight average molecular weight of at least 700,000 g/mol. The medicament carrier composition has a viscosity of from 500 to 5,000 cps at 250C, is substantially free of cellulose, and includes an auxiliary polymer. The medicament carrier composition is used to form a film that is also substantially free of cellulose. The film has a consistent thickness and size, and an increased flexibility and increased moisture resistance due to the polyvinylpyrrolidone. The medicament carrier composition is also used in a method of forming the film. The method includes the steps of providing the medicament and the polymer component. The method also includes the step of combining the polymer component and the medicament to form the medicament carrier composition. The method further includes the step of drying the medicament carrier composition to form the film.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing granules of a hydrophilic vitamin comprising at least one binder in powder form composed of a copolymer of vinyl pyrrolidone and vinyl acetate by compacting the mixture of the hydrophilic vitamin and the binder to form pieces and comminuting the pieces to form granules of the hydrophilic vitamin and the binder. The invention further relates to the granules of a hydrophilic vitamin obtained by said process and to tablets made with said granules of a hydrophilic vitamin.
Abstract:
A directly tabletable ibuprofen formulation comprising a) 50-99% by weight of crystalline ibuprofen, b) 1-15% by weight of a finely divided excipient with a surface area of at least 100 m2/g, and c) 0-40% by weight of further excipients, with the proviso that the total amount of components a) to c) corresponds to 100% by weight, where at least 50% of the surface of the ibuprofen crystals are covered with the finely divided excipient.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to pharmaceutical single-unit administration forms provided with a sealed film coating and having delayed release, the film coating containing 30 to 100% by weight of polyvinyl acetate and the layer thickness of the film coating being 30 mum to 500 mum.
