Abstract: A swellable intermediate layer that includes a swellable material selected from the group of starch, starch derivatives such as pregelatinised starch, sodium carboxyethyl starch, sodium starch gycolate, cellulose, cellulose ethers such as HPMC, HPC, HEC MC, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, carrageenans, aginates, pectins, xanthanes and their derivatives, guar gum, tragacanth, polyvinyl pyrrolidones and mixtures thereof, in a delayed-release, solid pharmaceutical formulation for peroral use. The formulation has a substrate containing an active substance, the swellable intermediate layer and a retarding coating layer for the adjustment of a release profile for the active substance which essentially permits complete release near the end.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions for oral administration comprising a cyclosporin or macrolide as active ingredient, and a polyethoxylated saturated hydroxy-fatty acid.

Abstract: The invention relates to new cyclosporin-comprising oral pharmaceutical preparations. The new pharmaceutical preparations can be produced more easily and have a good bio-availability. In addition to cyclosporin as active ingredient the preparations contain an alkylene-polyether or alkylene-polyester. Optionally, an alkylene-polyole, an alkylene-glycole, a polyalkylene-glycole, an alkyldiether or partial ether of a lower monooxyalkandiole or polyoxyalkandiole and/or a vegetable oil or its hydrated or hydrolysed product may be contained.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions for oral administration comprising a cyclosporin or macrolide as active ingredient, and a polyethoxylated saturated hydroxy-fatty acid.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to cyclosporin-containing liquid preparations for oral or parenteral administration, as well as to a process for preparing same. Besides the active ingredient cyclosporin, the preparations contain a polyoxyethylene glycerol fatty acid monoester and a monohydric and/or polyhydric alcohol(s). The preparations are stable and well tolerated, and they have higher bioavailability than the preparations known currently.
