An analgesic/anti-inflammatory pharmaceutical dosage form which comprises an effective amount of an active ingredient selected from the group consisting of racemic 5-benzoyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolizine-1-carboxylic acid, optically active forms thereof and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or diluent, said dosage form being an intranasally administrable dosage form.

Therapeutic compositions for intranasal administration which include KETOROLAC

Stable, biologically compatible pharmaceutical compositions in the form of water-in-oil microemulsions (w/o), for the sustained release by parenteral administration of active ingredients which are hydrophilic or are made hydrophilic by suitable derivatization, a process for the preparation of said microemulsions and the use thereof.

Sustained release pharmaceutical compositions for the parenteral administration of hydrophilic compounds

According to the invention there is provided a sterile, pyrogen-free, ready-to-use solution of an anthracycline glycoside, especially doxorubicin, which consists essentially of a physiologically acceptable salt of an anthracycline glycoside dissolved in a physiologically acceptable solvent therefor, which has not been reconstituted from a lyophilizate and which has a pH of from 2.5 to 6.5. The solution of the invention is particularly advantageous for the administration by injection of the anthracycline glycoside drugs. e.g. doxorubicin, in the treatment of both human and animal tumors.

Injectable ready-to-use solutions containing an antitumor anthracycline glycoside

Complexes of paroxetine, as free base or salt, with a cyclodextrin or a cyclodextrin derivative having a molar ratio between paroxetine and cyclodextrin ranging from 1:0.25 to 1:20, suitable for use in liquid and solid pharmaceutical compositions for oral and parenteral administration.

Complexes of paroxetine, with cyclodextrins or cyclodextrin derivatives

A sealed glass container containing therein a stable, injectable, sterile, pyrogen-free doxorubicin anti-tumor composition in a solution which consists essentially of a physiologically acceptable salt of doxorubicin dissolved in a physiologically acceptable solvent therefor, wherein said solution has not been reconstituted from a lyophilizate, and wherein said solution has a pH of from 2.5-3.5 and a concentration of said doxorubicin of from 0.1 to 100 mg/ml.

Injectable ready-to-use solutions containing an antitumor anthracycline

Disclosed is a liquid-suspension controlled-release enteric-coated pharmaceutical formulation for the administration of naproxen, comprising (a) microgranules of naproxen and an excipient; (b) four successive coats of polymeric hydrophilic and hydrophobic materials, at least the innermost of said coats imparting controlled-release properties to said naproxen according to a predetermined release profile, and at least the outermost of said coats imparting resistance to dissolution in gastric fluids; and (c) a liquid administration vehicle. This composition enables the oral administration of naproxen as a single daily dose the adjustment of the dosage to a patient's requirements, and avoids detrimental effects of prolonged contact of naproxen with the gastric mucosa thus aiding oral intake and minimizing the drug's typical side effects.

Liquid-suspension controlled-release pharmaceutical composition

Disclosed are controlled-release mucoadhesive pharmaceutical compositions for the oral administration of furosemide. This composition comprises a multiplicity of microgranules of lipophilic material which are coated with a mucoadhesive coating. This invention reduced or eliminates the diuresis peak and reduces inter-subject response variability which normally accompany conventional treatment with this drug.
