AU676315B2 — Stabilized solid pharmaceutical preparation and method of producing the same

USPTO Abstract

To stabilize the active ingredients, a caffeine is incorporated into a solid pharmaceutical preparation comprising a dextromethorphan and a phenylpropanolamine. The pharmaceutical preparation may further comprise ibuprofen. The active ingredients may be further stabilized, in combination with the incorporation of the caffeine, by grouping and incorporating separately each or suitably combined plural of the active ingredients into different groups or by minimizing the amount of any reducing sugar such as lactose. The solid pharmaceutical preparation is practically valuable since decomposition of each active ingredient with the lapse of time is remarkably suppressed and the active ingredients are stabilized for a longer period of time.
