Abstract: Sustained release formulation containing tacrolimus or its hydrate is provided. The time (T63.2%) required for 63.2% of the maximum amount of tacrolimus or its hydrate to be dissolved is 0.7 to 15 hours. The time is measured in accordance to the Japanes Pharmacopocia, the 13-th edition, Dissolution Test, No. 2 (Puddles method, 50 rpm) using an aqueous 0.005% hydroxypropyl cellulose solution. This aqueous test solution is adjusted to pH 4.5, accordingly. The formulation further comprises a solid base which is a water-soluble or water-insoluble polymer. The formulation is in the form of a powder, fine powder, granule, tablet or capsule. The formulation is administered to a patient once a day for preventing organ or tissue rejection by transplantation or autoimmune disease. In addition, a solid dispersion composition is provided. The solid dispersion comprises tacrolimus or its hydrate in a mixture containing water-soluble or water-insoluble polymer and an excipient.

Abstract: To provide a pharmaceutical composition comprising a macrolide compound, such as tricyclic compound (I) or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, a dissolution/absorption promoter, a pharmaceutical base, and optionally a compatibilizing agent and/or a thickener. It is satisfactory in stability and absorption kinetics and/or a low irritation potential.

Abstract: Providing an oral formulation of a macrolide compound where the dissolution of the macrolide compound is under sustained release; and a sustained-release formulation containing a composition in solid solution, where the macrolide compound is present at an amorphous state in a solid base.

Abstract: To provide a pharmaceutical composition comprising a water-insoluble active substance, surfactant(s) and solid carrier(s), which is improved in dissolution and oral absorption characteristics.

Abstract: Provided is a medicinal composition having a very satisfactory drug release profile and a very satisfactory drug absorption profile after oral administration characterized by its comprising an insoluble drug and two or more surfactants, at least one of the surfactants having as dissolved therein the insoluble drug and the other surfactant or surfactants.

Abstract: An aerosol product comprising the following compound (A), a middle-chain fatty acid triglyceride and a liquefied hydrofluoroalkane is provided. In the production of an aerosol product using a liquefied hydrofluoroalkane as propellant, the use of a middle-chain fatty acid triglyceride as dispersant insures good dispersion of compound (A) in the propellant. The result is an aerosol product free from variation in the dispensed dose of compound (A).

Abstract: This invention relates to an encapsulated pharmaceutical dosage form comprising a practically insoluble compound or salt and an intracapsular fluid, and/or a surfactant and/or cellulose derivative. It provides for increased oral absorption as compared with the conventional system because, on release of capsule contents from the capsule shell, the practically insoluble compound or salt undergoes diminution in crystal size.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition which is a physical mixture of exifone and certain water soluble cellulose derivatives. The mixture exhibits surprisingly improved solubility and bio availability.

Abstract: This invention relates to a solid dispersion composition comprising FR-900506 substance and water-soluble hydroxypropyl methylcellulose which is capable of dispersing the FR-900506 substance, the FR-900506 substance and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose being in the ratio of 1:0:1 to 1:20 by weight.
