  • Formulations for use in inhaler devices
    Publication number: 20030175214
    Abstract: A formulation for an inhaler device comprises carrier particles having a diameter of at least 50 &mgr;m and a mass median diameter of at least 175 &mgr;m; active particles; and additive material to which is able to promote release of the active particles from the carrier particles on actuation of the inhaler device. The formulation has excellent flowability even at relatively high fine particle contents.

  • Powdery pharmaceutical compositions for inhalation
    Publication number: 20030133880
    Abstract: Powdery pharmaceutical compositions including an active ingredient and carrier particles containing only a small amount of lubricant, 0.05-0.5% by weight, are used to prepare dry powder inhalers in order to increase the fine particle dose. A process for coating the surface of the carrier particles with such little amount of lubricant is also provided. Use of limited amount of lubricant is safe and provides ordered stable mixtures without segregation of the active particles during handling and before use.
