Abstract: The present invention is directed to liquid medicinal suspension compositions for the administration of doses of active pharmaceutical agents such as H.sub.2 -antagonists. H.sub.2 -antagonists are known for their adverse taste and/or malodor and the claimed suspension functions to mask the adverse taste and odor of such active ingredients. Also disclosed are liquid medicinal compositions comprising the claimed suspension composition and the H.sub.2 -antagonist active ingredients.

Abstract: Solvent systems for enhancing the solubility of ibuprofen for encapsulation into soft gelatin capsules is provided by the addition of ammonium acetate to the solvent system.

Abstract: The invention provides an analgesic cream containing ibuprofen with superior skin penetration properties obtained in part by maintaining a pH of 4 to 7.2 such that the ibuprofen is suspended in substantially solid crystalline form.

Abstract: The invention provides ibuprofen and ibuprofen containing pharmaceutical preparations stabilized against thermal degradation by the presence of a phenolic type antioxidant.

Abstract: A device is provided for measuring unwanted electric and magnetic field induced voltages in a test lead of a remote measurement sensor. A test lead is encased within a magnetic shielding conduit and is electrically connected to a remote sensor. Another electrical lead, identical to the test lead and also encased within the magnetic shielding conduit, is terminated by a short circuit in the vicinity of the sensor. This electrical lead travels through the same environment as the test lead on its way to the measuring equipment. Electro-magnetic field interference along the path of this electrical lead is an indication of the electro-magnetic field interference along the path of the test lead.

Abstract: Ibuprofen tablets/caplets formed by wet granulation of the ibuprofen characterized by a dissolution profile maintained stable on aging by incorporating croscarmellose sodium separately into the wet granulation and the compression mix and further incorporating sodium lauryl sulfate into the compression mix.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical dosage form is provided which disintegrates rapidly in water having an open matrix network structure comprised of mannitol and a natural gum and which can be used particularly for oral administration to pediatric and geriatric patients.

Abstract: A spray dried ibuprofen composition suitable for direct compression into tablets comprising a spray dried dispersion in water of ibuprofen, pregalatinized starch, a disintegrant and a wetting agent for the ibuprofen.

Abstract: A therapeutic taste-neutral powder form of ibuprofen obtained by spray-drying a dispersion of ibuprofen and ethyl cellulose in water having a plasticizer dissolved or suspended therein.

Abstract: A therapeutic taste-neutral powder form of acetaminophen obtained by spray-drying a suspension of colloidal silica in a lower alkanol solution of acetaminophen and ethyl cellulose.

Abstract: A therapeutic taste-neutral powder form of acetaminophen obtained by spray-drying a suspension of acetaminophen in a solution of ethylcellulose in an organic solvent selective for ethylcellulose.

Abstract: A therapeutic taste-neutral powder form of acetaminophen obtained by spray-drying a suspension of acetaminophen in a solution of a particular copolymer, cationic in character, based on dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate and neutral methacrylic acid esters.

Abstract: A therapeutic taste-neutral powder form of acetaminophen obtained by spray-drying a dispersion of acetaminophen and ethyl cellulose in water having a plasticizer dissolved or suspended therein.

Abstract: Coated aspirin tablets/caplets are provided wherein acetylsalicylic acid decomposition is inhibited by incorporation therein prior to coating of citric, alginic or glutamic acids of mixtures thereof.

Abstract: Aqueous hydrogen peroxide gels possessing enhanced low temperature stability, useful in treating surface cuts and bleaching hair, are prepared employing certain polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene block copolymers as gelling agents together with glycerine.
