Abstract: A method for automatically tracking compliance in a clinical trials process involving one or more operations comprising selecting a container; associating an identifier with the container, the identifier having a unique signature data item thereon; reading the unique signature data item to a relational database; performing a first operation relating to the container; checking the performance of the first operation against a compliance standard; following the successful completion of the first operation, writing an associated compliance data item to the relational database; optionally performing one or more further operations relating to the container; and following the successful completion of each optional further operation or a package thereof, writing an associated compliance data item to the database.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical formulation comprising an amoxycillin hydrate and an effervescent couple, for example citric acid plus sodium bicarbonate or sodium glycine carbonate, or tartaric acid or malic acid plus sodium carbonate. Potassium equivalents of these sodium salts may be used. The formulations may be free flowing powders or granules, or tablets.

Abstract: A chewable tablet comprises a medicament dispersed in a chewable base, such as mannitol, together with an effervescent couple, such as citric acid-sodium bicarbonate. The combination of effervescence and chewability with optional flavorings improves the taste characteristics of the medicament in oral administration. A disintegrant such as microcrystalline cellulose may be added to give the patient the option of dispersing the tablet in water.
