Abstract: The invention relates to solid dispersions containing paroxetine mesylate. One solid dispersion contains amorphous paroxetine mesylate and a methacrylic acid-methyl methacrylate copolymer, where the weight ratio of paroxetine mesylate to polymer ranges from about 30:70 to about 90:10. Another solid dispersion contains amorphous paroxetine mesylate and a-vinylpyrrolidone/vinylacetate copolymer (PVP-VA), where the weight ratio of paroxetine mesylate to copolymer ranges from about 30:70 to about 50:50. An amorphous solid dispersion of the invention may have a single glass transition temperature. An amorphous solid dispersion is stable for at least 48 hours at 60° C. and 75% relative humidity. A further embodiment of the invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions of paroxetine mesylate comprising a solid dispersion of the invention and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

Abstract: A plate (10) with spikes (11) projecting therefrom to impale a log on respective opposite sides of a crack (20) in the end of the log and wherein the plate has pull tabs (18, 19) integral therewith and grippingly engageable by a tool (30) used to remove the plate from the end of the log. A tool for inserting and removing the plate from the log includes means (37) for driving and means (33) for removing the plate from the log including a slot (35) adjacent the impact end of the tool and into which the pull tab on the plate is inserted.
