Abstract: A fast-acting analgesic comprises as analgesic substance ibuprofen in an adjuvant matrix with a porous structure and a density of greater than 1 and up to 2.5 g/cm3.

Abstract: A process for the continuous production of solid, particulate preparations of bioactive substances, in which the bioactive substances are homogeneously dispersed in a matrix of thermoplastic auxiliaries, in a screw extruder divided into a plurality of zones, wherein there is firstly melting of the matrix auxiliaries and mixing of the bioactive components with the matrix auxiliaries in a heatable zone, after which the mixture is cooled, precomminuted and finely ground in a cooling zone, the screw geometry in the cooling zone being selected so that the cooling zone consists of a conveying zone, a mixing zone and a kneading zone.

Abstract: A process for preparing liquid iodophores with poly-N-vinyllactams and dextrins as carrier materials, which comprises heating a mixture of the carrier materials, iodine and iodide ions or, in place of the iodide ions, a reducing agent in aqueous medium in the presence of a monohydric or polyhydric alcohol having 1 to 6 carbon atoms at from 40 to 100° C.

Abstract: Polymer powders redispersible in aqueous solution, their use in cosmetic, pharmaceutical or crop protection formulations and a process for preparing polymer powders redispersible in aqueous solution comprising copolymers carrying free acid or base groups and, if appropriate, auxiliaries, which comprises adjusting the pH of the dispersion prior to drying by the addition of at least one buffer system to a pH of from 2.0 to 6.5 in the case of copolymers carrying free acid groups or a pH of from pH 7.5 to 12 in the case of copolymers carrying free base groups.

Abstract: Preparations of non-steroidal analgesics with antipyretic and antiinflammatory effect are obtainable by extrusion and shaping of a melt, comprising, besides one or more active ingredients, a mixture of a) 40-99.5% by weight of a homopolymer of N-vinylpyrrolidone with a Fikentscher K value of 30, b) 0.25-59.75% by weight of a water-soluble copolymer of N-vinylpyrrolidone, and c) 0.25-10% by weight of one or more physiologically acceptable salts of sodium or potassium, where the stated amounts are based on the total of components a), b) and c).

Abstract: The present invention relates to topical products intended for use as prophylactic or curative agents for bacterial skin infections, containing at least one polymeric complex substantially consisting of hydrogen peroxide, a suitable polymer for the complex formation thereof, possibly another bactericidal compound and possibly a metal salt or a metal colloid.

Abstract: A process for producing solid dose forms by mixing at least one polymeric binder, with or without at least one active ingredient and with or without conventional additives, and shaping the mixture, where at least one of the components is employed in liquid form.

Abstract: The invention relates to solid drug forms obtainable by extrusion with subsequent shaping of a solvent-free melt, comprising, besides one or more active ingredients, A) 10-90% by weight of a melt-processable, water-soluble polymer, B) 5-85% by weight of isomalt, and C) 0-5% by weight of lecithin, where the total of all the ingredients is to be equal to 100% by weight.

Abstract: Complexes in powder form of iodine and a crosslinked polymer based on N-vinyl compounds are obtainable by dry heating of iodine and a polymer which is obtained by polymerization of monovinyl compounds (monomers A) whose vinyl group is bonded to a nitrogen atom of a nitrogen-containing heterocycle, in the presence of from 0.5 to 10% by weight, based on the monomers (A), of a compound (B) of the formula I; where A is —CH— or a nitrogen atom, and n is 2 or 3. The complexes are suitable for producing antidiarrheals.
