Lovastatin, pravastatin, simvastatin, mevastatin, atorvastatin, and derivatives and analogs thereof are known as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors and are used as antihypercholesterolemic agents. The majority of them are produced by fermentation using microorganisms of different species identified as species belonging to Aspergillus, Monascus, Nocardia, Amycolatopsis, Mucor or Penicillium genus, and some are obtained by treating the fermentation products using the methods of chemical synthesis or they are the products of total chemical synthesis. The aforementioned active substances may be destabilised by the environmental factors, their degradation may also be accelerated by interactions with other pharmaceutical ingredients, such as fillers, binders, lubricants, glidants and disintegrating agents, therefore the pharmaceutical ingredients and the process for preparation of the pharmaceutical formulation should be meticulously chosen to avoid the aforementioned undesired interactions and reactions. The present invention relates to a stable solid pharmaceutical formulation for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and hyperlipidemia. More precisely, the present invention relates to the new stable solid pharmaceutical formulation containing as an active ingredient a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, such as atorvastatin, pravastatin, fluvastatin and cerivastatin or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

The topical treatment of cataracts in dogs is a composition having an aldose reductase inhibitor (ARI) in a topical carrier. The ARI is preferably 2R,4S-6-fluoro-2-methyl-spiro[chroman-4,4′-imidazolidine]-2′,5′-dione, referred to as 2R-methyl sorbinil, having the structure:The topical carrier is formed from EDTA and deionized water containing about 2.5% carbomer, 1.5% glycerin, 0.02% EDTA and 0.1% benzalkonium chloride mixed to form a uniform emulsion. The concentration of the ARI in the topical carrier is preferably about 5-6%. The treatment includes administering to a dog an effective amount of the composition for preventing the formation of cataracts, reversing the formation of cataracts, and for treating diabetic retinopathy and pathological conditions resulting from diabetes affecting the cornea, iris, ciliary bodies, etc. The composition is preferably administered in the form of about two to four eye drops daily.
