Abstract
This invention relates to a process for the production of optimally stable orally administrable solution forms of medicaments containing high-molecular polysaccharides, with controlled release of drugs having beta-blocking action, this process consisting of the reacting of 1 to 20 parts (w/w) of beta-blocking agent (oxprenolol, pindolol, sotalol, metoprolol, alprenolol, acebutolol, atenolol, bopindolol, practolol, nadolol or propranolol) in 100 parts of an aqueous solution with 0.001 to 10.0 parts of a polysaccharide polymer, advantageously with Xanthan Gum having beta-1,4-glucan chain, or dextran, or amylodextrin, or carboxymethylamylum. The reaction is allowed to take place in the course of 20 minutes at a pH adjusted no 2.0-4.5, with vigorous stirring at 80.degree. C. temperature. Following the usual method of the pharmaceutical practice, the system is then formulated by the addition of water to obtain a solution suitable for oral administration.
