The purpose of the present invention is to provide a technique for formulating a two-layer separation-type ophthalmic solution in which, during storage, an aqueous layer and an oil-containing layer containing squalane are separated from each other, wherein it is possible to homogeneously disperse the oil-containing layer in the aqueous layer while suppressing foaming by shaking the ophthalmic solution before administration, and the homogeneous dispersed state is maintained in a stable manner at least until administration. A two-layer separation-type ophthalmic solution containing squalane and water, wherein hyaluronic acid and/or a salt thereof and polyvinyl alcohol are contained in the ophthalmic solution and the polyvinyl alcohol content is set to 0.025 to 0.1 w/v %, whereby it is possible to homogeneously disperse the oil-containing layer in the aqueous layer while suppressing foaming by shaking the ophthalmic solution before administration, and to maintain the homogeneous dispersed state in a stable manner at least until administration.

Two-layer separation-type eye drop containing squalane

An aqueous liquid preparation of the present invention containing 2-amino-3-(4-bromobenzoyl)phenylacetic acid or its pharmacologically acceptable salt or a hydrate thereof, an alkyl aryl polyether alcohol type polymer such as tyloxapol, or a polyethylene glycol fatty acid ester such as polyethylene glycol monostearate is stable. Since even in the case where a preservative is incorporated into said aqueous liquid preparation, the preservative exhibits a sufficient preservative effect for a long time, said aqueous liquid preparation in the form of an eye drop is useful for the treatment of blepharitis, conjunctivitis, scleritis, and postoperative inflammation. Also, the aqueous liquid preparation of the present invention in the form of a nasal drop is useful for the treatment of allergic rhinitis and inflammatory rhinitis (e.g. chronic rhinitis, hypertrophic rhinitis, nasal polyp, etc.).

Aqueous liquid preparation containing 2-amino-3-(4-bromobenzoyl)phenylacetic acid

An aqueous liquid preparation of the present invention containing 2-amino-3-(4-bromobenzoyl)phenylacetic acid or its pharmacologically acceptable salt or a hydrate thereof, an alkyl aryl polyether alcohol type polymer such as tyloxapol, or a polyethylene glycol fatty acid ester such as polyethylene glycol monostearate is stable. An embodiment of said liquid preparation does not include any preservative. Said aqueous liquid preparation in the form of an eye drop is useful for the treatment of blepharitis, conjunctivitis, scleritis, and postoperative inflammation. Also, the aqueous liquid preparation of the present invention in the form of a nasal drop is useful for the treatment of allergic rhinitis and inflammatory rhinitis (e.g. chronic rhinitis, hypertrophic rhinitis, nasal polyp, etc.).

Addition of polyvinylpyrrolidone and a water-soluble anionic macromolecular compound to an aqueous suspension of a hardly soluble drug allows to provide an aqueous suspension in which aggregation of drug particles, formation of macro crystals from suspended particles and formation of secondary particles from deposited particles are prevented, and adhesion and adsorption to containers made of plastics, e.g., polypropylene or polyethylene, are avoided. As it has a good redispersibility, the aqueous suspension is useful as eye drops, nasal drops, ear drops, injections, oral preparations, liniments and lotions.

Aqueous suspension preparations

An aqueous eye drop comprising 2-amino-3-(4-bromobenzoyl)phenylacetic acid or its pharmacologically acceptable salt or a hydrate thereof and an organic amine (for example, aminoethylsulfonic acid or trometamol) or a salt thereof is useful as an eye drop for once a day administration for treating inflammatory diseases of the external segment or the anterior segment of the eyes, since such aqueous eye drop can maintain a therapeutically effective concentration of 2-amino-3-(4-bromobenzoyl)phenylacetic acid in anterior aqueous humor for at least 24 hours by once a day administration.

Aqueous intraocular penetration-promoting eye drop

Stable and clear aqueous solution preparations comprising an aminoglycoside antibiotic or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof and bromfenac being a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agent or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof.

Aqueous solution preparation containing aminoglycoside antibiotic and bromfenac

A method for stabilizing an arylcarboxylic acid, which comprises adding a heterocyclic base to the arylcarboxylic acid or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof, a stabilizer thereof and an aqueous solution containing a stabilized arylcarboxylic acid. According to the stabilization method of the present invention, arylcarboxylic acid and pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof, particularly pranoprofen, can be stabilized at every temperature range, particularly at lower temperatures, thereby making the production of an aqueous solution to be used as an eye drop, nasal drop, ear drop and the like possible.
