[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as "the present embodiments") will be described, but the scope of the present invention is not construed as being limited to the following embodiments. In the present embodiments, the composition can contain each component alone or in combination of two or more. In this specification, "~" indicating a numerical range represents above and below, and includes both end values.
[0012] (Solid Composition) In a first aspect, the following components: (A) Ibuprofen, (B) At least one selected from the group consisting of tipepidine and its salts, (C) At least one selected from the group consisting of glycine, silicon dioxide, and acetaminophen. Solid compositions containing (excluding ibuprofen-containing granules prepared by adding an excipient to coated ibuprofen-containing granules, which are made by coating an ibuprofen-containing mixture with an enteric-coated polymer compound). It will be provided. The solid composition is specifically a solid pharmaceutical composition.
[0013] Each component contained in the solid composition according to this embodiment may be included in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, or it may be included as a complex with other components. That is, the solid composition according to this embodiment may contain salts of each component, not only component (B), but also component (A) and / or component (C), and other components. "Pharmacologically acceptable salt" includes, for example, salts with pharmaceutically acceptable bases or acids. Non-specific examples of pharmacologically acceptable salts include addition salts of inorganic acids (hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydroiodic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, etc.), addition salts of organic acids (p-toluenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, oxalic acid, p-bromophenylsulfonic acid, carboxylic acids, succinic acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, acetic acid, etc.), addition salts of inorganic bases (ammonium hydroxide or alkali or alkaline earth metal hydroxides, carbonates, bicarbonates, etc.), and addition salts of amino acids. Pharmacologically acceptable salts may be hydrated or anhydrous.
[0014] In this embodiment, in addition to ibuprofen and at least one selected from the group consisting of tipepidine and its salts, the above-mentioned component (C) is included, thereby suppressing changes in the properties of the solid composition, particularly changes in properties over time.
[0015] In this specification, "change in properties" means a change in properties and / or state, including at least aggregation, discoloration, moisture absorption, separation, and liquefaction. Therefore, the solid composition of this embodiment may have suppressed aggregation, discoloration, moisture absorption, separation, and liquefaction that occur over time. Furthermore, "suppression of changes in properties" means that changes in properties are less likely to occur, but for example, changes in properties may be suppressed when compared to a solid composition that does not contain component (C).
[0016] The solid composition of this embodiment may have its properties suppressed under high-temperature conditions. High-temperature conditions may be, for example, 30 to 100°C or 40 to 90°C.

The amount of enteric-coated polymer compound used for coating may be 2-30% or 5-10% of the granular material to be coated. Here, known methods in the field of pharmaceutical formulation technology may be used for coating, such as coating methods using a fluidized bed, such as a fluidized bed granulator or a rolling fluidized bed granulator, or coating methods using a centrifugal rolling granulator or a pan coating device. The coating conditions are determined appropriately based on conventional methods. Furthermore, the particle size of the coated ibuprofen-containing granules may be 30 mesh or less, or 42 mesh or less.

The solid composition of this embodiment is preferably an oral solid composition.
[0090] Examples of dosage forms for the solid composition in this embodiment include tablets, capsules, pills, granules, and fine granules. These solid compositions may be coated by known methods, such as sugar coating or film coating, as needed. The dosage form of the solid composition is preferably a tablet. Specific examples of tablets include uncoated tablets, film-coated tablets, and sugar-coated tablets.
[0091] The solid composition of this embodiment may be initially packaged in bottle packaging, PTP packaging, pouch packaging, stick packaging, or SP packaging and stored airtight. Furthermore, they may be pillow-packaged, or stored in boxes or the like. The material used for pillow packaging is not particularly limited, and for example, resin films such as polypropylene film, polyethylene terephthalate film, polyethylene film, or these resin films with aluminum foil attached can be used. If hygroscopicity is a concern, a desiccant may be stored simultaneously in the bottle packaging or pillow packaging.
[0092] The solid composition of this embodiment may be contained in a packaging container to form a package. The solid composition of this embodiment may be contained in, for example, an airtight package. By forming a package, the convenience of use of the solid composition can be improved. Specifically, the package in this embodiment is a pharmaceutical product.
[0093] As for the packaging of solid dosage forms, the solid composition may be initially packaged in a bottle, PTP (Press Through Package), pouch, stick, or SP (Strip Package) and stored airtight. Furthermore, these may be pillow-packed, or stored in a box or similar container. In addition, from the viewpoint of reducing moisture absorption of the solid composition, a desiccant may be stored simultaneously inside the packaging container, such as the bottle or pillow packaging.
[0094] Materials used in SP packaging, PTP packaging, stick packaging, pillow packaging, etc., include, for example, resin films such as polypropylene film, polyethylene terephthalate film, and polyethylene film, as well as resin films to which aluminum foil is attached. Either single-layer films or multi-layer films (e.g., laminate films) may be used.
[0095] Furthermore, it is preferable that the materials constituting the packaging container include materials that are less susceptible to the effects of moisture. Examples of such packaging include packaging formed from at least one of a moisture-proof material and a gas barrier material.
[0096] Examples of moisture-proof materials include a combination of PTP (polypropylene) and polyethylene aluminum pillow packaging. Furthermore, when the solid composition is a tablet, PTP packaging with aluminum on both sides (Al-Al packaging) may be used as a moisture-proof material, considering factors such as suppressing the rise in moisture content of the tablet, the storage stability of the tablet, and the stability of the tablet after opening.
[0097] Known materials may be used as the gas barrier material, for example, a laminate film having a functional barrier layer, and may be used to serve the same purpose as the moisture barrier material, or in combination with the moisture barrier material.
[0098] Furthermore, the packaging containers may be made environmentally friendly. For example, environmentally friendly materials such as recycled plastics, biomass plastics, and biodegradable plastics may be used in part or all of the packaging materials.
[0099] (Manufacturing method) In a second embodiment, a method for producing a solid composition is provided, comprising the step of contacting (A) ibuprofen, (B) at least one selected from the group consisting of tipepidine and its salts, and (C) glycine, silicon dioxide, and / or acetaminophen.
[0100] The production of the solid composition can be carried out using known techniques. Each component is added in any step and finally brought into contact with each other. A solvent and a binder may be added to the mixture after contact and kneaded, and the resulting paste may be used as the solid composition.
[0101] The resulting mixture can be further subjected to drying and granulation processes to produce granules. In this case, granules containing each component may be prepared separately. Granulation can be carried out wet or dry.
[0102] The resulting granules (granulated material) can be used as is, or additives can be added to the granules, and then compressed into tablets to produce uncoated tablets. Alternatively, these can be film-coated.
[0103] (Property change inhibitor) In a third embodiment, a property change inhibitor for solid compositions is provided, comprising (I) ibuprofen, which includes at least one selected from the group consisting of glycine, silicon dioxide, and acetaminophen, and (II) at least one selected from the group consisting of tipepidine and its salts.

[0111] To 5 g of a mixture of ibuprofen and tipepidine hibenzate obtained in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1, 1.25 g of silicon dioxide was added, and the mixture was sieved through a 42-mesh sieve, followed by 100 bag mixings. 1 g of the resulting mixture was weighed into a 1K standard bottle, sealed tightly, and then prepared to ensure uniform thickness to serve as the sample for Example 2.
[0112] The mixing ratios (mass ratios) of each sample are shown below. [Table 2]
[0113] 3. Evaluation of changes in the properties of the solid composition Each sample from Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 was stored at 80°C for 24 hours, and changes in properties were evaluated. Changes in properties included changes in color and state. For changes in color, it was confirmed whether a change in color was observed visually before and after storage. For changes in state, it was confirmed visually before and after storage whether any of the following occurred: aggregation of powder, moisture absorption, separation, or liquefaction.
[0114] Next, the changes in color tone and condition were evaluated according to the following criteria. Color change: A: No discoloration, B: Slight discoloration, C: Discoloration present, D: Significant discoloration State change A: No change, B: Slight change, C: Change present, D: Significant change
[0115] The following table shows the results of color and condition changes compared to the start of high-temperature storage. In Comparative Example 1, significant changes were observed in both color and condition. In Examples 1, 2, and 3, changes were suppressed in both color and condition. In Comparative Examples 2, 3, and 4, changes were not suppressed in either color or condition, and significant changes were observed. [Table 3]
[0116] These results demonstrate that the glycine, silicon dioxide, and acetaminophen added in Examples 1-3 can suppress changes in the properties of a solid composition containing at least one selected from the group consisting of ibuprofen and tipepidine and its salts, particularly changes in properties under high-temperature conditions.
[0117] The following ingredients: (A) Ibuprofen, (B) At least one selected from the group consisting of tipepidine and its salts, (C) At least one selected from the group consisting of glycine, silicon dioxide, and acetaminophen. Examples of formulations of solid compositions containing the following are shown in the table below.
