  • Publication number: 20250145525
    Abstract: The viscous building material with phosphorescence is a chemical compound. The viscous building material with phosphorescence is formed as a viscous colloid. The viscous building material with phosphorescence is applied as a viscous fluid between two objects. The viscous building material with phosphorescence performs a structural function selected from the group consisting of: a) forming a fluid impermeable seal between the two objects; and, b) forming an adhesive seal that holds the two objects in a fixed position relative to each other. The viscous building material with phosphorescence illuminates in the dark to form a beacon. The viscous building material with phosphorescence incorporates a structural compound and a phosphorescent compound. The structural compound and the phosphorescent compound are mixed to form the viscous colloid of the viscous building material with phosphorescence.

  • Patent number: 7790197
    Abstract: A wet granulated pharmaceutical composition comprising atorvastatin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof with less than about 5 weight % of an alkaline earth metal salt additive with a disintegrant which provides the atorvastatin with not more than about 3% atorvastatin lactone based on the ratio of lactone peak area compared to the total drug-related peak integrated areas, as well as said wet granulated pharmaceutical composition comprising atorvastatin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in combination with at least one other active drug, methods for preparing said compositions, kits for containing such compositions, and a method of treating hypercholesterolemia and/or hyperlipidemia, osteoporosis, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and Alzheimer's disease using a therapeutically effective amount of the pharmaceutical compositions.

  • Publication number: 20100048498
    Abstract: This invention relates to a powder for oral suspension, and an oral suspension made there from, which comprises non-dihydrate azithromycin and an azithromycin conversion stabilizing excipient, wherein said excipient reduces the conversion of the form of azithromycin, when placed in suspension, to another form of azithromycin. This invention further relates to a method for reducing the conversion of a form of non-dihydrate azithromycin, in an oral suspension, by including at least one cyclodextrin in said oral suspension.

  • Patent number: 7438924
    Abstract: This invention relates to a pharmaceutical formulation, in the form of a tablet, sachet or powder for suspension dosage form, which comprises dry granulated particles of a non-dihydrate form of azithromycin and, optionally, one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. Preferably, the pharmaceutical formulation is a tablet containing between about 40%, by weight, to about 90%, by weight, non-dihydrate azithromycin. More preferably, the pharmaceutical formulation contains non-dihydrate azithromycin selected from the forms B, D, E, F, G, H, J, M, N, O, P, Q, R, or mixtures thereof. Even more preferably, the invention relates to a pharmaceutical formulation wherein the dosage of azithromycin is 250 mgA, 500 mgA, 600 mgA or 1000 mgA. The present invention further relates to a dry granulated azithromycin particle, comprising a form of azithromycin, selected from forms D, E, F, G, H, J, M, N, O, P, Q, R and mixtures of non-dihydrate forms, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

  • Patent number: 7070811
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a dry blend, used for forming azithromycin tablets by direct compression, comprising non-dihydrate azithromycin and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. This invention also relates to an azithromycin tablet comprising non-dihydrate azithromycin and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. Preferably, the azithromycin tablet is formed by directly compressing the dry blend, of the present invention, to form said azithromycin tablet. Preferably, the azithromycin tablet, of the present invention, contains a dosage of 250 mgA, 500 mgA or 600 mgA of azithromycin. This invention further relates to an azithromycin tablet which is produced by forming a dry blend of a non-granulated azithromycin form A and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. The azithromycin tablet is then formed by directly compressing the dry blend.
