  • Publication number: 20110281906
    Abstract: A sustained release pharmaceutical composition for tacrolimus, comprising a solid dispersion containing tacrolimus or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a carrier for a sustained release pharmaceutical composition, wherein a dissolution rate of tacrolimus after 4 hours from the beginning of a dissolution test is less than 35%, is disclosed.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 2, 2011
    Publication date: November 17, 2011
    Applicant: ASTELLAS PHARMA INC.

  • Publication number: 20110142933
    Abstract: A controlled release dosage form of tacrolimus, comprising a solid dispersion of tacrolimus, wherein a controlled release base, which is selected from the group consisting of a water-soluble macromolecule, a gum base, and a membrane forming agent and does not form the solid dispersion of tacrolimus, is further contained, is disclosed. The controlled release dosage form of tacrolimus has an excellent controlled release and shows a stable blood concentration.

  • Publication number: 20080103171
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the provision of a stable particulate pharmaceutical composition of solifenacin or a salt thereof, which is in a spherical shape suitable for coating and in which degradation with time can be inhibited when a pharmaceutical preparation of solifenacin or a salt thereof is supplied to clinical fields. More particularly, it relates to a particulate pharmaceutical composition that can be obtained by using a binder having a Tg or mp lower than 174C upon formulating a particulate composition of solifenacin into a pharmaceutical preparation. Further, by performing a crystallization-promoting treatment after the particulate pharmaceutical composition is produced, a more stable particulate composition of solifenacin or a salt thereof can be provided.
