Description

EFFERVESCENT FORMULATIONS COMPRISING CEFPROZIL AS ACTIVE
AGENT
Present invention relates to pharmaceutical formulations formulated in effervescent form comprising cefprozil active agent and the process for their preparation. Background of the invention
Cefprozil, which is a second generation cephalosporin, was first disclosed in the patent numbered US4520022 and its chemical name is 8-[2-amino-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-acetyl] amino-7-oxo-4-prop-l-enyl-2-thia-6- azabicyclo [4.2.0]oct-4-ene-5-carboxylic acid. Cefprozil shown with Formula 1 is indicated for use in treatment of bronchitis, ear infections, skin infections and for treatment of other infections.
Formula I
In the prior art, the formulations comprising cefprozil as active agent are present in tablet, capsule or oral suspension forms. For example, the pharmaceutical formulations sold in the market under the tradename CEFZIL®, are present in tablet form comprising 250 and 500 mg cefprozil and in oral suspension form comprising 125 mg/5 ml and 250 mg/5 ml of cefprozil.
Tablet forms comprising 250 and 500 mg active agent in one dose become bigger in size when formulated with excipients. Accordingly, oral tablet and capsule dosage forms cause difficulty in swallowing especially for old people and children since they are difficult to swallow even though they are aclministered with water and have an unpleasant taste. This case impedes the drug intake and affects the efficacy of the treatment negatively. Moreover, bioavailability of oral dosage forms is far less than that of suspension forms.
However, suspension forms cause some problems such as; possibility to intake high and/or uncontrolled dose, the problems related to their physical and chemical stabilities after they are diluted with water and the difficulties in their usage and transferring. As is seen, new approaches are needed for obtaining formulations which are stable, which provides an efficient dosing and ease of use for especially pediatric and geriatric patients, which can disperse quickly and form a homogeneous suspension and have a high bioavailability. The inventors have surprisingly found that the problems in the prior art can be solved by the effervescent formulations that are prepared in accordance with the present invention.
