Abstract: This invention provides an emulsion, e.g., microemulsion, pre-concentrate comprising a difficultly soluble active agent and a carrier medium. The active agent may, e.g., be a cyclosporin or a macrolide.

Abstract: The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition in solid form comprising a poorly water soluble drug, a solubilizing component, and a surfactant which is semisolid or solid. The poorly soluble drug may e.g. be a cyclosporin or a macrolide.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions comprising a cyclosporin, e.g. Ciclosporin or [Nva]2-Ciclosporin, in “microemulsion pre-concentrate” and microemulsion form. The compositions typically comprise (1.1) a C1-5alkyl or tetrahydrofurfuryl di- or partial-ether of a low molecular weight mono- or poly-oxy-alkane diol, e.g. Transcutol or Glycofurol, as hydrophilic component. Compositions are also provided comprising a cyclosporin and (1.1) and, suitably, also a saccharide monoester, e.g. raffinose or saccharose monolaurate. Dosage forms include topical formulations and, in particular, oral dosage forms.

Abstract: Soft gelatin capsules having a capsule shell comprising gelatin, plasticizers and, if desired or required, further auxiliary agents, and a capsule filling containing a solvent including a migrateable solvent such as 1,2-propyleneglycol as a solvent in the capsule filling and in the capsule shell. The manufacture of said capsules is improved, if in the process for making the soft gelatin capsules the gelatin bands are cooled with a liquid, and preferably with water.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition containing macrolide, e.g. a rapamycin compound in an emulsion preconcentrate or microemulsion preconcentrate for oral administration. The carrier medium for the rapamycin compound includes a hydrophilic phase, a lipophilic phase and a surfactant. The composition is stable and provides high absorption efficiency.

Abstract: This invention provides an emulsion, e.g., microemulsion, pre-concentrate comprising a difficultly soluble active agent and a carrier medium. The active agent may, e.g., be a cyclosporin or a macrolide.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions comprising a cyclosporin in a novel galenic formulations for oral administration. The compositions typically comprise a cyclosporin, 1,2-propylene glycol, a mixed mono-, di- and tri-glyceride and a hydrophilic surfactant. Further a refined glycerol-transesterified corn oil is provided representing a mixed mono-, di- and tri-glyceride suitable for the novel formulation. Dosage forms include in particular oral dosage forms.

Abstract: The present invention provides a hard gelatine capsule containing a pharmaceutical composition comprising cyclosporin A in a mixture with a surfactant of HLB value at least 10, substantially free of any oil and when a hydrophilic phase is present, the hydrophilic phase being a polyethylene glycol and/or a lower alkanol provided that any lower alkanol present is present in less than 12% of the total weight of the composition absent the hard gelatine capsule.

Abstract: This invention provides composition comprising a cyclosporin and a carrier medium.
