  • Publication number: 20120294940
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of suppressing the bitter taste of a drug when a rapidly disintegrating tablet in an oral cavity is produced. When a rapidly disintegrating tablet in an oral cavity is produced, the bitter taste of a drug is suppressed by utilizing (a) a granule which contains a drug having a bitter taste and an excipient and in which the bitter taste has not been suppressed and (b) a granule containing a water soluble saccharide.

  • Publication number: 20110229570
    Abstract: Disclosed is an orally rapidly disintegrating tablet characterized in that the tablet can be produced in a conventional tablet manufacturing facility and has a satisfactory level of hardness for practical applications, and the change in properties of the tablet (i.e., decreased in hardness of the tablet, and delay of the disintegration time of the tablet in the oral cavity) are rarely caused by factors such as humidity. The orally rapidly disintegrating tablet has hardness of 40N or more, can be disintegrated in the oral cavity within 60 seconds, and is produced by compressing of a mixture of (a) an active ingredient, (b) an excipient having good water wettability, (c) a water-insoluble polymer that is well compactible and does not substantially cause a decrease in the water wettability of the excipient and (d) a disintegrating agent.

  • Patent number: 7927623
    Abstract: Intraorally rapidly disintegrating tablets which, when ingested, disintegrates in the oral cavity rapidly without presenting unpleasant taste, can be quickly absorbed in the digestive tract and express efficacy are provided. The intraorally rapidly disintegrating tablets contain a drug being hardly water-soluble under neutral or alkaline conditions and being highly water-soluble under acidic conditions yet presenting unpleasant taste, which tablets can be prepared by combining the medicinal substance with a water-soluble acidic substance, coating either or both of the substances with a water-soluble coating agent being insoluble in alcoholic solvent, further adding a water-soluble binding agent being soluble in alcoholic solvent and a water-soluble saccharide, subjecting the resultant mixture to compression, and treating the products with an alcoholic solvent.

  • Patent number: 7904275
    Abstract: Management of countermeasure of pollution particles deposited on an object to be processed is optimized based on a cause of the pollution. Data processing and management equipment 1 comprises a functional approximation part 2 to make a mathematical model of a relation between measured numbers of particles deposited on a substrate during processing in a surface structuring device or a film forming device and accumulated amount processed after cleaning up of the device by a functional equation based on a cause of the deposit of the particles. A judging part 3 specifies the cause of the deposit of particles by comparing the functional equation with the measured numbers of particles.
