  • step III of the process of the present invention the coarse grained and fine grained excipients are mixed at 300- 3000 rpm, preferably 500- 2000 rpm for 30- 300 seconds, preferably 45- 180 seconds in the container and the mixture of coarse grained- fine grained excipient mixture is obtained.
  • the present invention relates to the process for the preparation of the pharmaceutical formulation comprising tiotropium in the dry powder form wherein the coarse grained and fine grained excipients are mixed at 300- 3000 rpm, preferably 500- 2000 rpm for 30- 300 seconds, preferably 45- 180 seconds in the container and the mixture of coarse grained- fine grained excipient mixture is obtained.
  • step IV of the process of the present invention a hole is digged in the mixture of coarse grained- fine grained excipient mixture and tiotropium active agent is poured into the hole, then it is covered by the excipient which was set aside while digging the hole. A mixture of tiotropium and the excipient is obtained in this step.
  • Step V of the process of the present invention the tiotropium- excipient mixture obtained in Step IV is blended at 300- 3000 rpm, preferably 500- 2000 rpm for 1- 20 minutes, preferably 2- 10 minutes and the final dry powder mixture is obtained.

  • Step VI of the process of the present invention the final dry powder mixture is filled into the blister cavities of the blister package.
  • the inventors When the dry powder formulation prepared in accordance with the process of the present invention is inhaled from blister, the inventors have found that an effective inhalation is performed in the case that cavity volume of the blister comprising the drug in dry powder form comprising tiotropium and/or pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives thereof is in the range of
  • the present invention relates to the process characterized in that blister having cavity volume in the range of 18-30 mm , preferably in the range of 20 to 25 mm , more preferably in the range of 21-24 mm 3 is used.
