Embodiment 1

[0094] The following compositions as shown in Table 3 below were prepared.

[0095] Table 3: Pharmaceutical formulation composition

[0096]

[0097] Weigh out an appropriate amount of micronized active material and transfer it to a batch container. Add appropriate amount of micronized sodium cromolyn, (DSCG) and seal the container. A propellant mixture of HFA 227 (Apaflurane) and 1.43% alcohol was prepared in a separate vessel and transferred to the batch vessel. The solid material was dispersed in the liquefied propellant by using a rotor-stator homogenizer at 2900 rpm for 30 minutes. The homogeneous bulk suspension was cooled to 4°C and recirculated between the container and the Pamasol P2001 aerosol filling machine.

[0098] A drug aerosol cartridge with an overflow volume of 14 ml was crimped with a metering valve of 50 mcl using a Pamasol P2005 crimping machine. Aliquots of 11 g of the suspension were filled into crimped cylinders by a P2001 filling machine. The ...

Embodiment 2

[0100] Flutiform 50 / 5 compositions as indicated in Table 2 above were tested against a comparative product identical to the Flutiform 50 / 5 formulation except ethanol was removed from the comparative product.

[0101] MDI cartridges filled with these compositions were tested for analysis of the two drugs in the cartridge, dose consistency throughout the life of the inhaler up to the final labeled amount, aerodynamics of the aerosol drug through the Andersen cascade impactor particle size distribution, and drug deposition on the inner surface of the cartridge and valve (CCS).

[0102] The results are shown in Table 3:

[0103] Table 3: Effect of ethanol on dose uniformity and aerodynamic particle size distribution (APSD). initial results.

[0104]

[0105] The purpose of this experiment was to test the effect of a wetting agent (in this case, dehydrated ethanol) on critical parameters such as dose uniformity and particle size distribution. The results show that the average...

Embodiment 3

[0108] The following batches were prepared using the method described in Example 1:

[0109] Table 14:

[0110]

[0111] As shown in the results shown in Tables 15 and 16 below, the results of the stability investigation up to 12 months demonstrated the excellent product quality and robustness of both formulations.

Abstract

In a metered dose inhaler, comprising a canister and metering valve, containing a suspension aerosol formulation comprising particles of formoterol fumarate dihydrate and fluticasone propionate suspended in an HFA propellant, a method of reducing deposition of particles on the surfaces of the canister and the metering valve, the method comprising the step of adding a wetting agent to the formulation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a drug suspension aerosol formulation for use in a metered dose inhaler. Background technique [0002] Pharmaceutical aerosol formulations typically contain the drug substance suspended or dissolved in a liquefied gas propellant. Metered dose inhalers typically consist of a canister for storing a pressurized aerosol formulation, the canister being closed at one end with a metering valve. The cartridge and valve are controlled by an actuator containing means for actuating the metering valve through which a fixed dose of aerosol formulation can be dispensed precisely and a mouthpiece through which The dispensed dose of the aerosol formulation is directed into the patient's mouth). [0003] Each dose of a drug delivered from a metered-dose inhaler should be metered with a very narrow dose variation tolerance set by regulatory authorities. Furthermore, because metered dose inhalers typically contain multiple doses of the...
