Abstract: A dry composition for oral ingestion characterized by comprising as an active ingredient a gas-releasing substance which releases gas by soak with water, and further comprising a gel base in an amount sufficient for gel formation; a gel composition for oral ingestion formed by adding water or a liquid diluent to the dry compound when taking; and a mixed feed obtainable by mixing the gel composition with a feed, are disclosed.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide an adsorbent for oral administration, which can: obviate sandy texture of granules-formed adsorbent for oral administration, reduce the volume administered compared to encapsulated adsorbent for oral administration, and be easy to take.

Abstract: A housing body (10) for deglutition of a shaped solid (5) for oral ingestion which is stored therein, comprising a generally tubular water-resistant envelope (1); an opening-side end part (A) at one end of the envelope, having an unsealable structure part (2), and capable of forming an opening part (22) by removing the unsealable structure part; a shielding-side end part (B) at the other end of the envelope, having a means for preventing the shaped solid for oral ingestion from release, the means allowing liquid to pass therethrough but not allowing the shaped solid for oral ingestion to pass therethrough; and a storage chamber (6) storing the shaped solid for oral ingestion between the opening-side end part and the shielding-side end part is disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an oral preparation of esculetin with controlled release. The oral preparation of esculetin with controlled release of the present invention comprises a gel-forming polymer base, preferably hydroxypropylmethylcellulose. The preparation may be coated with an enteric polymer base such as hydroxypropylmethylcellulose acetate succinate to thereby enhance solubility in the intestines. When orally administered, the preparation can continuously release esculetin. Thus, the administration frequency and dose can be reduced and a therapeutic effect on arthropathy can be established.

Abstract: An effervescent granular preparation for keeping cut flower freshness includes an azole-substituted cyclopentanol derivative represented by formula (I) (set forth below) and 2-bromo-2-nitro-1, 3-propanediol as effective components and to a process for producing the same. The effervescent granular preparation is produced by granulation of a mixture containing at least one of glucose, D-mannitol and sucrose as an excipient by incorporating an organic acid such as citric acid or malic acid and a hydrogen carbonate such as sodium hydrogen carbonate. ##STR1## wherein A represents a nitrogen atom or a CH group, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 represent each independently a hydrogen or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl group, and X represents a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom.
