  • Publication number: 20230414520
    Abstract: An improved immediate release solid dosage form of naproxen with a certain particle size distribution for the intragranular portion, and a certain particle size distribution for the carbonate portion that allows naproxen to remain in solution and achieves fast dissolution and fast absorption of naproxen. The invention provides a naproxen dosage form that when administered to a human in a fasted state provides an average blood plasma naproxen concentration of at least 15-20 ?g/ml in 10 minutes or less. The invention also provides a naproxen dosage form that when administered to a human in a fed state provides an average blood plasma naproxen concentration of at least 15-20 ?g/ml in 50 minutes or less.

  • Patent number: 6534494
    Abstract: A process for preparing cefuroxime axetil in substantially amorphous form comprises forming a mixture of crystalline cefuroxime axetil and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, and subjecting the mixture to milling for a period of time sufficient to convert the crystalline cefuroxime axetil to substantially amorphous form, i.e., the crystallinity is less than 5%. The amorphous cefuroxime axetil has a chemical purity of at least 95%. Desirably, the particles of the milled material are reduced to a size of less than 2.
