Abstract: Processes are provided for the preparation of orally administrable, yellow and powdery compositions essentially consisting of particles composed of a homogeneous mixture of an amorphous Cefditoren pivoxil substance with a water soluble high-molecular additive. These compositions can be produced by dissolving crystalline Cefditoren pivoxil substance and the water-soluble high-molecular additive in an aqueous solution of an acid, then neutralizing the resultant solution, to co-precipitate the product, and drying the thus precipitated product, followed by recovering the product in the form of the above-mentioned particles.

Abstract: A crystalline substance of Cefditoren pivoxyl is provided which has a high purity and enhanced thermal stability on storage. This crystalline Cefditoren pivoxyl may be prepared by a process comprising a step of dissolving an amorphous form of Cefditoren pivoxyl in an anhydrous, first organic solvent capable of dissolving said amorphous form well therein, and steps of replacing the first organic solvent component of the resulting solution by an anhydrous alkanol of 1 to 5 carbon atoms as a second organic solvent, in such a manner that the firstly prepared solution of Cefditoren pivoxyl in the first organic solvent is mixed with a volume of the alkanol and then is concentrated below 15° C. under reduced pressure, and so on. Thereby, the process proceeds so as to produce a solution containing 50 mg/ml to 250 mg/ml of Cefditoren pivoxyl dissolved in the alkanol alone. From the latter solution, crystals of Cefditoren pivoxyl are induced to deposit by addition of water at a temperature of 0-10° C.
