Problems solved by technology

While dry methods are generally well known, including direct compression and dry granulation techniques, such methods are considered unsuitable for dosage forms in which the active substance is used in an amount of less than 2% by weight, when less than 1% of the active substance is used Such methods are unacceptable when

[0065] The difference from batch to batch is only the viscosity value of the selected hydroxypropyl methylcellulose:

[0066] Batch A contains METHOCEL K4M CR PREMIUM

[0067] Batch B contains METHOCEL K15M CR PREMIUM

[0068] Batch C contains METHOCEL K100M CR PREMIUM

[0069] b) Operation method

[0070] Tamsulosin hydrochloride was blended (15 minutes) with anhydrous lactose in a 1:9 ratio (10% active substance), ground (15 seconds) and then blended again (5 minutes). This pre-blend was then mixed with the remainder of the lactose,...

Abstract

The present invention relates to pharmaceutical tablets comprising low amounts of tamsulosim. The invention further relates to the manufacturing process and the therapeutic use of these compounds for the treatment of bening prostatic hyperplasia.

Description

Background of the invention [0001] The present invention relates to pharmaceutical tablets comprising tamsulosin, unit dosage forms prepared therefrom and methods of preparing the pharmaceutical tablets. [0002] Tamsulosin is the common name for 5-[2-[[2-(2-ethoxyphenoxy)ethyl]amino]propyl]-2-methoxy-benzenesulfonamide of the following formula (1) . [0003] [0004] It is disclosed in EP 34432 and US 4731478 as a pharmaceutically active substance having alpha-adrenergic blocking activity for the treatment of cardiac insufficiency and benign prostatic hyperplasia. [0005] The enantiomer (R)-Tamsulosin in hydrochloride form has been marketed in various countries, including the United States, for the treatment of symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (also known as BPH), such as problems with urine output and frequency. The above-mentioned approved drug product is an oral capsule dosage form containing only 0.4 mg of tamsulosin hydrochloride. The capsules provide cont...
