Aspirin is the most commonly used antipyretic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory agent. The usual pain-relieving adult dosage is 300 to 600 mg. To minimize frequent aspirin-induced gastric disturbance, many aspirin products contain buffering agents. Only a portion of the aspirin acts as aspirin, as part of the aspirin is decomposed into salicylic acid and acetic acid. Buffering agents cannot fully neutralize these acids along with the gastric acids, especially when larger aspirin doses are required. The likelihood of G I tolerance cannot be fully improved by any buffering agent. Aspirin is effective within 15 to 25 minutes after swallowing.
An analgesic aspirin composition in dosage form having acetylsalicylic acid and unreacted glycine in an amount equal to at least approximately 33.3% of the weight of the acetylsalicylic acid for rendering the aspirin nontoxic upon swallowing the aspirin composition, as well as rendering the aspirin sublingually absorbable.
Preparation method for preparing a therapeutical composition for internal use, particularly to be administered by mouth, in galenical presentation, and containing at least one active principle in solid form adsorbed on a substrate, the active product being distributed therein as finely dispersed microparticles. The method includes dissolving the starting active principle in an appropriate solvent, impregnating the solution thus formed on a food support having an appropriate structure and pharmaceutically compatible with the active principle, and evaporating the solvent from the solution adsorbed in the support by causing the reconstitution of the active principle by formation of microcrystals adsorbed on the walls of the substrate and within the substrate. The solvent is comprised of a binary system including a main solvent of organic nature and an adjuvent of the solid type at room temperature and soluble in the main solvent. The adjuvent additionally has lubricating properties.
Mecidinal specialty in galenic presentation and constituted in particular by a pastille, granule, pill, tablet or the like, adapted to be sucked by the user or with sublingual administration. At least one active product in microdispersed form within the substrate. Method of presenting a therapeutical composition for internal use, particularly for administration per os, in galenic presentation, and containing at least one active principle in solid form adsorbed on a substrate. The active product is distributed therein in the state of finely dispersed microparticles. The method is of the type comprising the phases of: dissolution of the starting active principle in an appropriate solvent; impregnation of the solution thus formed on a food support of appropriate structure pharmaceutically compatible with the active principle; and evaporation of the solvent from the solution adsorbed within the support, provoking reconstitution of the active principle by the formation of microcrystals adsorbed on the walls and within the substrate. The solvent is constituted by a binary system comprising a main solvent, of organic nature, and an adjuvant, of solid type at ambient temperature and soluble in the main solvent. The adjuvant in addition has lubricating properties.
