PRODUCTION PROCESS OF MICROSPHERES

Upon formation of a drug into microspheres by O/W solvent evaporation, a mixed solvent of at least one water-insoluble solvent and at least one water-miscible solvent is used as a solvent of an oil phase. A fatty acid or a salt thereof may be added to the mixed solvent. The oil phase may contain at...

More Information
Summary:Upon formation of a drug into microspheres by O/W solvent evaporation, a mixed solvent of at least one water-insoluble solvent and at least one water-miscible solvent is used as a solvent of an oil phase. A fatty acid or a salt thereof may be added to the mixed solvent. The oil phase may contain at least one glycerin fatty acid ester and/or at least one propylene glycol fatty acid ester, other than the mixed solvent. The oil phase may also comprise the mixed solvent; a fatty acid or a salt thereof; and at least one glycerin fatty acid ester and/or at least one propylene glycol fatty acid ester. The resulting drug-containing microspheres contain the drug at a high concentration and slowly release from the initial stage after administration.
