Coating of tablet cores

The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of caspofungin as active ingredient being useful for the prevention and/or treatment of fungal infections. The compositions additionally comprise specific bulking agents and small amounts or no amounts of an additional pH modifier and may be in a liquid or solid form, e.g. may be lyophilized compositions. The compositions show good stability and reduced amounts of sub-visible particulate matter formed in solutions which are reconstituted from the lyophilized product.

Caspofungin formulations

Cefuroxime axetil in a non-gelatinous form on contact with an aqueous liquid, e.g., in the form of a solid dispersion on a carrier, e.g., useful for the production of pharmaceutical compositions comprising cefuroxime axetil as an active ingredient and use of cefuroxime axetil in the manufacture of an oral dosage form which does not exhibit an adverse food effect.
