  • Patent number: 11896566
    Abstract: This invention relates to a naproxen formulation suitable for encapsulation into a soft gel dosage unit by increasing the stability, concentration, and bioavailability of naproxen. Fill formulations of the invention may include other active pharmaceutical ingredients and combinations of two or more active pharmaceutical ingredients. This invention also provides for adjusting pH values of fill formulations without additional process steps. A process for increasing the achievable concentration of an active NSAID pharmaceutical ingredient, such as naproxen, relative to fill composition for dosage units is also provided. The highly concentrated formulation of this invention permits a reduction in the fill volume or dosage unit size, or an increase in concentration of the active pharmaceutical ingredient per dosage form. The invention also relates to a formulation of optimal stability suitable for supporting a fill composition compatible with the soft gel dosage unit.

  • Patent number: 9480667
    Abstract: An NSAID formulation for encapsulation into a soft gel capsule with increased stability, concentration and bioavailability of the NSAID. The preferred NSAIDS are naproxen, ibprofen, indomethacin and diclofenac, which are provided in both an acidic and basic form in the fill formulation. The pH values of fill formulations may be adjusted without additional process steps. A process for increasing the achievable concentration of an NASAID pharmaceutical ingredient in a fill composition for dosage units is also provided. The highly concentrated NASAID formulation permits a reduction in the fill volume or dosage unit size or an increase in concentration of the NSAID in each dosage it.

  • Publication number: 20070224261
    Abstract: A drug formulation dosage is provided that includes an oral medication capsule inclusive of the eutectic liquid at room temperature. The eutectic liquid includes a pharmaceutically active substance that exists as a solid in pure form at room temperature along with a biologically tolerated compound that forms a eutectic liquid with the active substance so as to render the substance and the compound as the eutectic liquid. The resulting drug formulation dosage has a high degree of storage stability. Natural volatile oils represent a class of biologically tolerated compounds well suited for the formation of a eutectic liquid sealed within an oral medication capsule. Three or more component eutectics are also appreciated to be operative herein to form stable eutectic liquids with pharmaceutically active substances.

  • Patent number: 5565661
    Abstract: An elevator operational status indicating element includes a base plate with opposed bent ends mounted on a wall by screws. Pins are provided on the lower side wall of a housing open at the wall side to couple the housing with the lower bent end of the base plate. Setscrews are provided on the upper side wall of the housing to couple the housing with the upper bent end of the base plate. In the front wall of the housing an opening is provided into which a filter plate is set. Threaded bolts, attached near the opening on an inner face of the front wall of the housing, and nuts retain a lens carrier which is pressed against the filter plate. A printed circuit board in the lens carrier carries luminescent diodes in the form of a symbol to be displayed by light transmitted through a lens formed in the lens carrier to the filter plate.
