Abstract
A controlled-release pharmaceutical preparation containing an oil suspension which comprises an analgesic and an injectable oil. The analgesic is either a nalbuphine free base or a pharmaceutical salt of nalbuphine such as nalbuphine HCl. The injectable oil is preferably sesame oil. The oil suspension contains microparticles in the size range of 1 to 100 &mgr;m, preferably less than 50 &mgr;m, which is produced by treating the analgesic and injectable oil in an ultra high energy mixing equipment. The controlled-release preparation permits nalbuphine free base or nalbuphine HCl to have a longer duration of action in relieving pain, and allows the administration of lower doses. A process for preparing the injectable oil suspension is also disclosed.
