Abstract: The present invention is directed to a composition containing at least one salt and at least one natural or synthetic high molecular weight, non-ionic, hydrophilic polymer. When in a liquid form, the composition is ready for infusion or injection to patients that suffer from loss of fluids that causes reduced volume and/or pressure in the systemic circulation. The composition is also suitable for treatment of organ conditions where blood flow is impaired or insufficient, resulting in organ distress, including tissue loss. The invention also relates to use as a prophylaxis to prevent medical consequences of anticipated conditions where depleted circulatory fluids, low blood pressure, or impaired organ perfusion require correction.

Abstract: A multi(micro)particulate tablet is provided comprising microparticles which comprise a mechanically non-deformable core of active principle (AP). The tablet is formed from reservoir microcapsules with prolonged release of the AP, which are each made up of a non-deformable core comprising AP and covered with at least one film coating controlling release of the AP in vivo. The microcapsules have a particle size of between 50 and 1000 microns and are coated with at least one outer overcoating envelope comprising at least one deformable organic constituent having a melting point of between 40° C. and 120° C. The envelope allows the prolonged release of the AP in vivo without modification of the release profile when the microcapsules are compressed to form a tablet, even for microparticles not specifically formulated for compression.
