Abstract: Orally administrable pharmaceutical compositions of lipase-containing products, particularly pancreatin and pancreatin-containing products, or of enzyme products which contain at least one lipase of non-animal, especially microbial origin, which improve the lipolytic activity and particularly result in stabilization of the lipase in the acidic pH range. These oral pharmaceutical compositions contain a system which includes at least one surfactant and one co-surfactant and optionally a lipophilic phase, and are self-emulsifiable on contact with a hydrophilic and a lipophilic phase. The compositions according to the invention are suitable for treating or inhibiting maldigestion, especially maldigestion due to chronic exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, in mammals and humans.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions containing selective imidazoline receptor agonists combined with angiotensin II receptor blockers, particularly, pharmaceutical compositions containing Moxonidine and Eprosartan mesylate, as well as the use of such compositions for the treatment of hypertension, especially in hypertensive patients suffering from type II diabetes or susceptible to developing type II diabetes.

Abstract: Pancreatin-containing micropellet cores which can be coated with a gastric juice-resistant film are prepared by extruding a mixture containing pancreatin, polyethylene glycol 4000 and a lower alcohol such as propan-2-ol to produce extrudates which break by themselves into fragments, rounding the fragments with the addition of highly liquid paraffin and drying. Propan-2-ol may be present with the paraffin during rounding. The micropellet cores contain 65-85% pancreatin, and have a bulk density of 0.6 g/ml to 0.85 g/ml, a spherical to ellipsoidal shape with a minor axis in the range of 0.7-1.4 mm and a particle size distribution in which at least 80% of the micropellet cores have a minor axis to major axis ratio in the range from 1:1 to 1:2.
