  • Publication number: 20080066744
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods of introducing a suspension or solution of a medicament, preferably mometasone furoate anhydrous, into a metered dose inhaler container, said container having a valve attached thereto, said method comprising the steps of introducing mometasone furoate anhydrous, a surfactant and a chlorofluorocarbon free propellant into a vessel that is held under pressure to form a suspension or solution, circulating said suspension or solution from the vessel through a line which includes a filling head, bringing said filling head into communication with said metered dose inhaler container through said valve of said metered dose inhaler container, introducing a quantity of such suspension or solution into the container from the filling head of the line through said valve of said metered dose inhaler container, withdrawing said filling head from said metered dose inhaler container, and sealing said metered dose inhaler container, as well as the products produced thereby having an improved particle size

  • Publication number: 20040081625
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of determining the formation of a secondary structure of a thixotropic formulation, said method comprising a) placing an amount of said thixotropic formulation on a transparent object; b) capturing an image of said thixotropic formulation by back-scattered light by using a particle vision and measurement probe; c) converting said image to a video image; d) analyzing said video image to determine the amount of time it takes for the formation of said secondary structure within said thixotropic formulation, and novel formulations concerning the same.
