  • Publication number: 20080128314
    Abstract: The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition which can permit a sparingly water-soluble drug substance to be solubilized or dispersed in a pharmaceutically allowable liquid medium (e.g., fat emulsion, etc.), characterized in that said pharmaceutical composition contains (a) a base (e.g., polyethylene glycol, etc.), (b) a sparingly water-soluble drug substance and (c) a fatty acid or its pharmaceutically allowable salt. The pharmaceutical composition can be mixed with a pharmaceutically allowable liquid medium to produce a pharmaceutical preparation for administration, such as an injectable solution, etc., wherein mixing can be performed for a shortened period of time and the sparingly water-soluble drug substance can be uniformly solubilized or dispersed in a liquid medium.

  • Patent number: 5993863
    Abstract: The present invention aims at providing an alimentative infusion liquid which has improved stability and preservability and can be administered through a peripheral vein. The infusion liquid contains sugars, amino acids, electrolytes and a fat emulsion at a specific mixing ratio and has a specific pH value and a titratable acidity. The alimentative infusion liquid of the present invention containing the above-described components has good preservability without suffering from precipitation, denaturation and the like problems. Further, since the pH value is adjusted to a specific level and the titratable acidity is retained low, administration of the infusion liquid through a peripheral vein does not cause troubles such as angialiga.
