AP . Ο Ο 5 9 8
This *nvention relates to pharmaceutical units which include a plurality of active ingredients.
According to the present invention there is provided a pharmaceutical unit comprising a therapeutically effective amount of metronidazole together with a therapeutically effective amount of at least one other antimicrobial compound selected of the group consisting of tetracylines, tetracyline derivatives, penicillins, penicillin derivatives, Cephalosporin range of (? compounds and derivatives of Cephalosporin range of compounds.
The at least one other antimicrobial compound may comprise a compound suitable for treating relapse of peptic ulcers.
Preferably, the at least one other antimicrobial θ compound comprises a compound active against θ Helicobacter pylori.
In one embodiment ’of the invention the at least one other antimicrobial compound may comprise a compound of the Cephalosporin range of antibiotics.
In an alternative and preferred embodiment of the
AP/P/ 95/00773 invention the at least one other antimicrobial compound may comprise a penicillin or a derivative thereof.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention the at least one other antimicrobial compound may comprise amoxycillin or a salt thereof. Most preferably the amoxycillin salt comprises amoxycillin trihydrate.
The weight ratio between the metronidazole and amoxycillin trihydrate may be any suitable ratio, but preferably it is approximately 1:1,4375.
The pharmaceutical unit may include one or more additives.
The additives may comprise one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of disintegrants, surface active agents, lubricants and diluents. Preferably it include a disintegrant, a surface active agent, a lubricant and a diluent. The disintegrant may comprise sodium starch glycollate. The surface active agent may comprise sodium lauryl sulphate. The lubricant may comprise talc and the diluent may comprise starch, preferably maize starch.
The pharmaceutical unit may comprise a capsule.
amounts
AP .0 0 5 9 8
The pharmaceutical unit may comprise suitable of metronidazole and the at least one other antimicrobial compound to provide a single dose unit.
According to one specific embodiment of the invention there is provided a pharmaceutical unit including 200mg metronidazole and 287,5mg amoxycillin trihydrate.
According to one aspect of the invention there is provided a pharmaceutical unit substantially as described hereinabove for use in the treatment of infections. The infections may comprise infections of the upper respiratory tract and preferably it comprises gingivitis.
According to another aspect of the invention there is provided a pharmaceutical unit substantially as described hereinabove for use in the treatment of ulcers and preferably the relapse of peptic ulcers. The pharmaceutical unit may also be used pro-actively.
According to another aspect of the invention there is provided a pharmaceutical unit substantially as described hereinabove for use in the treatment against Helicobacter pylori infections.
EZZ00/G6 /d/dV
The invention further relates to the use of a combination of a therapeutically effective amount of metronidazole together with a therapeutically effective amount of at least one other antimicrobial compound selected of the group consisting of tetracylines, tetracyline derivatives, penicillins, penicillin derivatives, Cephalosporin range of compounds and derivatives of Cephalosporin range of compounds in the preparation of a medicament in the form of a pharmaceutical unit for use in the treatment of infections. The infections may comprise infections of the upper respiratory tract and preferably it comprises gingivitis.
The invention also relates to the use of a combination of a therapeutically effective amount of metronidazole together with a therapeutically effective amount of at least one other antimicrobial compound selected of the group consisting of tetracylines, tetracyline derivatives, penicillins, penicillin derivatives, Cephalosporin range of compounds and derivatives of Cephalosporin range of compounds in the preparation of a medicament in the form of a pharmaceutical unit for use in the treatment of peptic ulcers.
The invention further relates to the use of a combination of a therapeutically effective amount of
AP/P/ 9 5 / 0 0 7 7 3
AP . 0 0 5 9 8 metronidazole together with a therapeutically effective amount of at least one other antimicrobial compound selected of the group consisting of tetracylines, tetracyline derivatives, penicillins, penicillin derivatives, Cephalasporin range of compounds and derivatives of Cephalosporin range of compounds in the preparation of a medicament in the form of a pharmaceutical unit for treatment against Helicobacter pylori.
The pharmaceutical unit described hereinabove may be used in combination with an acid suppressant in the treatment of the relapse of peptic ulcers or the effects of Helicobacter pylori on mammals.
The invention will now be further described with reference to the following non-limiting example.
Example
AP/P/ 9 5 / 0 0 7 7 3
A capsules containing metronidazole and amoxycillin trihydrate was formed. The capsule contained the following(ingredients.
Ingredient Mass in mq
1. Metronidazole 200
- 6 Ingredient
Mass in mg
2. Amoxycillin trihydrate 287,5
3. Sodium starch glycollate 20
4. Sodium lauryl sulphate 4
5. Talc 7
6. Maize starch 131,5
The metronidazole was put through a 1mm screen to break
up lumps. Compounds 1, 2 and 6 were mixed to form a
pre -mix A. Compounds 3, 4 and 5 were separately mixed
to form a pre-mix B. The pre-mixtures A and B were
added together and thoroughly mixed and thereafter the capsule was filled.
The inventors believe that it is easier and more convenient to use a unit as described hereinabove instead of the active ingredients provided in separate form. It is also believed that the use of the unit would lead to improved patient compliance.
It will be appreciated that many variations in detail are possible without thereby departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.
