The invention relates to the prevention and/or treatment of a severe broncho-pulmonary disease by administering a solution formulation from a pressurized metered dose inhaler capable of providing therapeutical doses of two or more active drug substances to the lung, wherein all the active drug substances are fully dissolved in the formulation as well as the two or more active drug substances are delivered with substantially the same particle size distribution.

Pharmaceutical solution formulations for pressurized metered dose inhalers

Pharmaceutical solution formulations for pressurised metered dose inhalers

Aerosol solution formulation for use in an aerosol inhaler which includes at least one active ingredient selected from 20-ketosteroids and quinolinone derivatives, a propellant containing a hydrofluoroalkane, a cosolvent, and a specific amount of a sequestering agent that stabilizes the formulation. By way of example, the stabilizing agent may be phosphoric acid or sulphuric acid.

Pharmaceutical aerosol formulations for pressurized metered dose inhalers comprising a sequestering agent

Compositions which contain an active ingredient, a propellant containing a hydrofluoroalkane (HFA), a co-solvent, and a low-volatility component are useful for administering the active ingredient via an aerosol.

Pharmaceutical aerosol composition

A metal container and a method of preparing a metal container for a pharmaceutical formulation where the active ingredient is formoterol, a stereoisomer of formoterol, and a physiologically acceptable salt of formoterol, in a solution of a liquefied HFA propellant.

Formoterol superfine formulation

The invention relates to pressurized metered dose inhalers (MDIs) in which all or part of the internal surface is stainless steel, anodized aluminum, or lined with an inert organic coating and which contain a formulation which comprises ipratropium bromide.

Pressurized metered dose inhalers (MDI) containing a solution comprising ipratropium bromide, HFA propellant, and co-solvent and comprising a container with a specific internal surface composition and/or lining

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical formulation for use in the administration of a long-acting &#x3b2;-agonist by inhalation. In particular this invention relates to a chemically stable, highly efficient salmeterol HFA solution formulation to be administered by pressurized metered dose inhalers (pMDIs) characterized by a deep lung penetration. The invention also relates to methods for the preparation of said formulation and to its use in respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Salmeterol superfine formulation

The invention relates to the use of pressurised metered dose inhalers (MDIs) having part or all of their internal surfaces consisting of stainless steel, anodised aluminium or lined with an inert organic coating; and to compositions to be delivered with said MDIs.

Pressurised metered dose inhalers (MDI)

A composition for use in an aerosol inhaler, the composition comprising an active material, a propellant containing a hydrofluoroalkane (HFA), a cosolvent and further comprising a low volatility component to increase the mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) of the aerosol particles on actuation of the inhaler, filling of an aerosol container and use of the composition for the administration of active materials by inhalation.

Aerosol solution formulations for use in an aerosol inhaler which comprise 8-hydroxy-5-[(1R)-1-hydroxy-2-[[(1R)-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-methylethyl]amino]-ethyl]-2(1H)-quinolinone or a salt thereof, in particular the hydrochloride salt (TA 2005), as an active ingredient, a propellant containing a hydrofluoroalkane, and a cosolvent, stabilized by addition of a specific small amount of a high concentrated phosphoric acid exhibit improved shelf life. The formulation may be optionally contained in a can having part or all of its internal metallic surfaces lined with an inert organic coating.

Stable pharmaceutical solution formulations for pressurized metered dose inhalers

The invention relates to the use of pressurized metered dose inhalers (MDIs) having part or all of their internal surfaces consisting of stainless steel, anodised aluminum or lined with an inert organic coating; and to compositions to be delivered with said MDIs.

An aerosol solution composition for use in an aerosol inhaler comprises an active material, a propellant containing a hydrofluoroalkane, a cosolvent and optionally a low volatility component to increase the mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) of the aerosol particles on actuation of the inhaler. The composition is stabilized by using a small amount of mineral acid and a suitable can having part or all of its internal metallic surfaces made of stainless steel, anodized aluminium or lined with an inert organic coating.

Formulations for the administration through pressurized metered dose aerosol inhalers containing an anticholineric drug in solution in a hydrofluorocarbon propellant, a cosolvent and a low volatility component, and the use thereof in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
