Abstract:
The present invention concerns a method for making an inhaled pharmaceutical composition with improved powder handling properties comprising a stearate, a method of preparing such a composition, and the use of such a stearate in a composition when dispensed into a receptacle for use in a dry powder inhaler receptacle.

Claim (Index 14):
A method of improving dispensed dosing reproducibility of an inhalable pharmaceutical formulation from an automated powder filling apparatus, comprising:\n blending a micronized pharmaceutically active material, magnesium stearate, one or more additional stearates, and carrier particles, wherein said micronized pharmaceutically active material, magnesium stearate, and carrier particles collectively comprise greater than 10% (w/w) fines wherein said magnesium stearate has a D 10 \u22643 \u03bcm, D 50 \u226410 \u03bcm and D 90 \u226430 \u03bcm prior to blending as determined by laser diffraction particle size analysis, wherein said magnesium stearate is present in amount of from 0.1% to 50% by weight out of a total weight of the micronized pharmaceutically active material, magnesium stearate and carrier particles, and wherein said one or more additional stearates are selected from the group consisting of calcium stearate and sodium stearate.
