  • Patent number: 10314785
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for the sterilization of a labile glucocorticosteroid, which method comprises heat-treating by moist heat the labile glucocorticosteroid in the form of a suspension for a sterilizing-effective time. The methods and compositions according to the invention are useful as therapeutic tools to prevent, reverse, and/or reduce the symptoms of allergic and/or inflammatory conditions in a mammalian patient. The invention also provides methods and compositions, which may be manipulated and fine-tuned to fit the condition(s) to be treated while producing fewer side effects.

  • Publication number: 20120258939
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preparing a sterile suspension of a glucocorticosteroid. The glucocorticosteroids used in the invention are preferably antiinflammatory glucocorticosteroids. By making the last stage of product preparation be the sterilization process, the potential for contamination during manufacture and heat degradation of products is greatly reduced.
