- Combined doses
-
The present invention discloses a method and a pharmaceutical dry powder combined dose for the prophylaxis or treatment of a respiratory disorder in a mammalian host by inhalation of a metered dry powder combined dose of finely divided dry medication powders. At least one dry powder medicament is selected from a first group of bronchodilating medicaments and at least one dry powder medicament from a second group of anti-inflammatory medicaments. A metered dry powder medicinal combined dose comprising separately metered deposits of medicinally suitable quantities of each of the selected medicaments is prepared, in which the sum of the metered deposits constitutes the metered quantities of powder of the combined dose and the medicinal combined dose is introduced into an adapted inhaler device for a generally simultaneous delivery of the medicinal combined dose during the course of a single inhalation by a user, such that the delivered medicinal combined dose is composed of a high proportion of mixed de-aggregated fine particles of the selected medicaments, whereby an desired therapeutic or treating effect to the user is achieved.

- Pharmaceutical formula
-
The present invention concerns a pharmacological vehicle or carrier system, which makes possible administration of the active ingredient with a high absorption thereof in the blood circulation of the patient treated therewith, in particular also in the case of oral administration. The pharmacological vehicle system according to the invention comprises ultrafine particles of a reaction product of a reactive derivative of an at least dibasic inorganic acid or an alkane-carboxylic acid having 2 or 3 carboxyl groups and optionally one or two hydroxy groups, wherein one bond of the dibasic inorganic acid or one carboxy group of the alkane-carboxylic acid is bonded to a pharmacological active ingredient containing a hydroxy group, SH group and/or a primary or secondary amino group having a ractive hydrogen atom on this group, and the other bond is bonded to the free hydroxy group of a glycerolipid having at least one free hydroxy group on the glycerol. The invention further concerns these reaction products and a process for the preparation of ultrafine particles of these reaction products.
