Patent number: 5158765Abstract: A depilatory composition for the removal of hair is composed of a mixture of sugar, water and aspirin. This mixture is heated to dissolve the solute materials, and then allowed to cool so as to form a soft, pliable composition which can be manually applied to the skin. The composition firmly adheres to the hair with which it comes in contact, and by quickly drawing the applied material away from the skin, will cause the hair to be removed from its roots without causing undue irritation or swelling.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 1991Date of Patent: October 27, 1992Assignees: Patricia A.

Patent number: 5069910Abstract: There are described novel dispersible cimetidine tablets containing 30 to 90% by weight of one of the polymorphous modifications of cimetidine A, B or C, 5 to 55% by weight of one or more disintegrationg agents, 0.05 to 5.0% by weight of a surfactant, such as sodium lauryl sulphate together with other common adjuvants. The process for the manufacture of dispersible cimetidine tablets is effected on the basis of known methods by granulating the ingredients and by compressing the granulate to tablets. Dispersible tablets disintegrate when brought in contact with water at room temperature within less than 1 minute to yield a fine dispersion, which facilitates the oral application. Therefore such tablets are particularly suitable for certain groups of patients, especially for the aged and children. Dispersible tablets containing cimetidine excell by their improved rate of dissolution and good bioavailability.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 1989Date of Patent: December 3, 1991Assignee: LekInventors: Mateja Kovacic, Jenny Milovac, Polona Cvelbar, Anton Stalc, Zvezdana Trost, Zdravko Kopitar, Bojan Kofler, Vida Nikolic, Marija Lampret, Marija Lippai
