A method of producing a fast dissolving tablet comprising compression-molding a composition comprising an active ingredient, a carbohydrate and a barely sufficient amount of water to moisten the surface of particles of said carbohydrate into a tablet form and a fast dissolving tablet obtainable by the method. The active ingredient may for example be a vitamin, a gastrointestinal function conditioning agent or an antipyretic-analgesic-antiinflammatory agent. The carbohydrate includes sugar, starch sugars, lactose, honey, sugar alcohols and tetroses. The amount of water to be added is about 0.3 to 10% by weight. The above fast dissolving tablet has a porous structure with excellent disintegratability and solubility as well as adequate strength.

When a transdermal therapeutic composition which contains a pharmaceutically effective ingredient, a water-soluble absorption enhancer, a fat-soluble absorption enhancer and a super water-absorbent resin is applied to the skin of mammals, release of the pharmaceutically effective ingredient and the absorption enhancers is controlled and the pharmacological action lasts for a long period of time.

Transdermal therapeutic composition

The present invention concerns a sustained-release microcapsule preparation comprising an ion exchange resin with 6 to 16% crosslinking, containing a drug adsorbed in an amount not less than 80% of its theoretical ion adsorption amount and coated with a water-permeable polymer.

Sustained-release preparation and production thereof

A percutaneous pharmaceutical preparation for external use containing N-ethoxycarbonyl-3-morpholinosydnonimine (molsidomine) and an absorption promoter selected from the group consisting of aliphatic monoalcohols of 10 to 22 carbon atoms, aliphatic monoamides of 8 to 18 carbon atoms and aliphatic monoamines of 10 to 16 carbon atoms gives a high blood concentration of molsidomine over a long time period when applied onto the human skin.
