Abstract: Parts of a powdered medicine multi-dose administering device are assembled, powdered medicine is filled and assembly that is obtained is inspected all on an automatic production line to increase productivity while preventing the production of defective products. The powdered medicine multi-dose administering device is produced through automated steps of inserting a filter (12) in a filter-fitting portion (11a) of a container (10), inserting an inner cylinder (15) in the container body (10), filling the container with the powdered medicine through a ring-like opening between an opening in the upper part of the container and the inner cylinder, fitting an inner closure (19) to the container and to the inner cylinder, fitting a nozzle (20) to the container while coupling it to the inner cylinder, and inspecting the thus obtained assembly.

Abstract: There are provided a solid preparation containing a single crystal of 2-(3-cyano-4-isobutyloxyphenyl)-4-methyl-5-thiazolecarboxylic acid, an excipient and a disintegrating agent, and a method for producing the same.

Abstract: A method of weighing an easily chargeable measured object able to remove the effects of static electricity to weigh a measured object by an accuracy of about 0.3 mg continuously with a good work efficiency. When using an electronic scale (10) provided with a weighing platform (11) and a weighing pan (12) able to move vertically by a very small distance with respect to the weighing platform to weight an easily chargeable measured object (14), the measured object is weighed in the state with a conductive frame (13) of a suitable size set on the weighing platform (11) around the weighing pan so as to surround the measured object placed on the weighing pan.

Abstract: A powdered medicine multi-dose administering device has a medicine container unit (5b) for containing a unit-dose of medicine under the lower surface of the medicine storage chamber (5a) storing the medicine in a multi-dose amount. A medicine guiding unit (2) moves between a filling position and an administering position while maintaining a contact with the bottom surface. At the filling position, the medicine container unit is opened to the medicine storage chamber and is filled with the medicine. As the medicine container unit moves from the filling position to the administering position, the powdered medicine in the medicine container unit is swept and metered. At the administering position, the medicine in the medicine container unit is injected by the action of the pump unit (3) through a filter (6) and a pipe (2g, 2d, 2c).
