Title: Pharmaceutical compositions stabilized in glassy particles
Inventor: ROSER BRUCE
IPC: A61K47/14
Filed: 2005-10-04
Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition comprising a biologically active material stabilized in glassy particles that are mixed with a liquid such that they may be delivered to a patient by injection, wherein, the proportion of said liquid to the amount of said particles is sufficiently high to prevent settlement of the particles at either the top or the bottom of the liquid. The glassy particles are typically made from carbohydrate materials. Present proposals for liquid medium carriers for such particles have problems associated with aggregation of the glassy particles. This has previously been solved by matching the density of the particles with the liquid in which they are suspended. However, this greatly constrains the choice of liquid carrier that can be used. This can be ameliorated by adding just a small amount of liquid to the particles such that the solution has a creamy or paste-like consistency. Providing that too much liquid is not present, the particles do not separate out and the choice of liquid carriers available for use in such compositions is greatly increased.

The scanned head of the scanning device may be located at a less than optimum focal distance from the barcode in order to make the output more difficult to decode. Consequently, the time taken to decode a reading from the scanner head becomes directly related to the quality of the barcode.
