International ClassA61K 009/12Foreign Application Priority Data1991-12-12 GBAbstractThe present invention relates to canisters suitable for delivering a pharmaceutical aerosol formulation which comprises a container capable of withstanding the vapor pressure of the propellant used, which container is closed with a metering valve and contains a pharmaceutical aerosol formulation consisting essentially of a particulate medicament which is fluticasone propionate or a physiologically acceptable solvate thereof and 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane as propellant, which formulation contains less than 0.0001% w/w surfactant based on the weight of the medicament, the particulate medicament being present in an amount from 0.005% to 5% w/w relative to the total weight of the formulation and having a particle size of less than 100 microns. A further particulate medicament may also be present in the pharmaceutical aerosol formulation.Other References
