  • Patent number: 9095513
    Abstract: The present invention is an enteric coated granule having controlled dissolution in water even at a small coating amount; and a preparation method thereof.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 15, 2007
    Date of Patent: August 4, 2015
    Assignee: Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.

  • Patent number: 8808731
    Abstract: An adhesive pharmaceutical preparation which has a less irritation to the skin surface, keeps excellent stability of bisoprolol in the preparation, and allows continuous administration of a pharmacologically effective amount of bisoprolol into the living body, is provided. The adhesive preparation 10 comprises a support 1, an adhesive layer 2 laminated on one surface of the support 1. The adhesive layer 2 is characterized by containing bisoprolol, polyisobutylene, tackifier, and an organic liquid ingredient compatible to polyisobutylene and tackifier. Thus, an adhesive pharmaceutical preparation which has a good adhesiveness with less irritation to the skin and which gives almost no pain at peel-off or removal from the skin surface with leaving almost no paste, can be provided. In addition, bisoprolol is very stably maintained in the preparation and a pharmacologically effective amount of bisoprolol can be administered continuously into the living body through the skin surface.

  • Patent number: 8703178
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a percutaneous administration device of bisoprolol, which includes a backing; and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing bisoprolol, which is laminated on one surface of the backing, wherein the maximum value of a release rate of bisoprolol during a period of from immediately after the application on skin until a lapse of 24 hours is 30 ?g/cm2/hr or less; and wherein the release rate of bisoprolol at the time of a lapse of 24 hours after the application on skin is 10 ?g/cm2/hr or less. The percutaneous administration device of the present invention is reduced in the skin irritation during the application, especially at the time of peeling, and is capable of persistently administrating a therapeutically or preventively effective amount of bisoprolol into a living body.

  • Patent number: 8298572
    Abstract: In the adhesive pharmaceutical preparation of the invention containing bisoprolol, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is laminated on one side of the backing. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer contains a branched monoalcohol having from 12 to 28 carbon atoms, a free base of bisoprolol and a polyisobutylene pressure-sensitive adhesive. Accordingly, compatibility of the polyisobutylene pressure-sensitive adhesive with the free base of bisoprolol can be specifically increased. As a result, not only it becomes possible to increase blending amount of the free base of bisoprolol but also bleed of the free base of bisoprolol from the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer can be suppressed and, what is more, the pressure-sensitive adhesion characteristics sufficient from the practical point of view can be obtained.
