International ClassesA61K 009/12A61K 009/72 Foreign Application Priority Data1989-09-20 GBAbstractA method for preparing a self-propelling, powder dispersing aerosol composition comprising at least 0.0001% by weight of a finely-divided solid medicament coated with a non-perfluorinated surface active dispersing agent which constitutes at least 0.0001% by weight of the coated solid material, and suspended in an aerosol propellant in which the non-perfluorinated surface-active dispersing agent is substantially insoluble. Propellant-insoluble non-perfluorinated surfactants are used to prepare stable dispersions of powdered medicament by way of pre-coating the medicament with the surfactant prior to admixture with propellant.Field of SearchEFFERVESCENT OR PRESSURIZED FLUID CONTAININGOrganic pressurized fluid Powder or dust containing Particulate form (e.g., powders, granules, beads, microcapsules, and pellets) Coated (e.g., microcapsules) Containing waxes, higher fatty acids, higher fatty alcohols, or derivatives thereof POWDERS, GRANULES OR PARTICLES OF SPECIFIED MESH OR PARTICLE SIZE CHARACTERIZED BY THE DESIGNATED SURFACTANT USED | |
