Abstract
A pharmaceutical formulation suitable for parenteral (preferably intravenous) adminstration includes an effective amount of 1-diphenylmethyl-4-[(2-(4-methylphenyl)-5-methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methyl]p iperazine and a suitable amount of an acid to generate a pharmaceutically acceptable salt having a pH above about 3.0 and a solubility above about 4.0 mg/ml. The intravenous formulation optionally includes a suitable tonicifier in a quantity sufficient to achieve isotonicity with body fluids. The salt is formed in situ during the formulation process. The slat of tartaric acid is preferred; suitable salts for lower concentration dosages are the citric acid and methane sulphonic acid salts.
