  • Patent number: 9782367
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel method for obtaining a pharmaceutical composition based on modafinil. This method consists of solubilizing S modafinil in a fluid in the supercritical state and then after expansion of said fluid, recovering S modafinil by causing it to be absorbed at the surface by a support appearing as granules. Said fluid may be CO2 or another solvent and the support, anhydrous lactose or mannitol. Application of the pharmaceutical composition in the cases when increased short term alertness and over a short period is required for the consumer of the pharmaceutical composition.

Since even in the case where a preservative is incorporated into said aqueous liquid preparation, the preservative exhibits a sufficient preservative effect for a long time, said aqueous liquid preparation in the form of an eye drop is useful for the treatment of blepharitis, conjunctivitis, scleritis, and postoperative inflammation. Also, the aqueous liquid preparation of the present invention in the form of a nasal drop is useful for the treatment of allergic rhinitis and inflammatory rhinitis (e.g. chronic rhinitis, hypertrophic rhinitis, nasal polyp, etc.).
