The present invention relates to a process to prepare solid pharmaceutical forms comprising a quantity of mesalazine comprised between 75 and 95%, i.e. between 1000 and 1600 mg of drug per dosage unit. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a granulate and/or tablets obtained/obtainable with the process according to the invention, preferably coated to allow the con-trolled release of the drug. Finally, the present invention relates to the use of the granulate and/or the tablets as a medicament, preferably for the treatment of chronic inflammatory pathologies that preferably affect the intestinal tract.

Process for mesalazine solid formulations

The present invention relates to a process to prepare solid pharmaceutical forms comprising a quantity of mesalazine comprised between 75 and 95%, i.e. between 1000 and 1600 mg of drug per dosage unit. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a granulate and/or tablets obtained/obtainable with the process according to the invention, preferably coated to allow the controlled release of the drug. Finally, the present invention relates to the use of the granulate and/or the tablets as a medicament, preferably for the treatment of chronic inflammatory pathologies that preferably affect the intestinal tract.

The present invention refers to pharmaceutical beclomethasone dipropionate compositions in modified-release gastro-resistant microspheres and to their oral use in the treatment of inflammatory pathologies of the intestinal tract. Said compositions in microspheres comprise: a) a core consisting of a microsphere of inert material; b) a first intermediate coating comprising beclomethasone dipropionate and at least one physiologically acceptable excipient; c) a second modified-release gastro-resistant coating. The present invention also refers to a process for obtaining said compositions.

Beclomethasone dipropionate compositions in modified-release gastro-resistant microspheres and process for obtaining them

The present invention refers to the compounds corresponding to the following general formulas (I) and (Ia):  wherein:

Derivatives of mesalazine, process of their preparation and their use in the treatment of intestinal inflammatory diseases

The present invention refers to controlled release granular compositions of mesalazine and their use in the treatment of inflammatory pathologies of the intestinal tract. The aforesaid granular compositions comprise: a) a central core comprising an inert substrate; b) an intermediate layer comprising mesalazine and one or more physiologically acceptable excipients; c) a gastro-resistant coating. The present invention then refers to a process for obtaining the aforesaid granular compositions.

Controlled-release granular compositions containing mesalazine and process for the manufacture thereof

A one-way valve for a container supplying a liquid under pressure when the container is compressed is designed to be inserted between an outlet of the container and the end of a supply nozzle connected to the container. The valve includes a hollow body inserted partially into the outlet of the container. A base of the hollow body, which is engaged by the end of the nozzle, is open, while the other base of the body has an essentially central hole through which the liquid passes. The hollow body accommodates internally an obturator member essentially including a shaped stopper connected, via elastically deformable lugs, to a support element. The support element has a longitudinal passage of a cross-sectional area greater than that of a cavity formed in the stopper. The lugs are designed to keep the stopper within the hole of the hollow body when the container is not compressed and to allow it to be moved out of the hole when the container is compressed in order to supply the liquid.
