Description
本発明は、レベチラセタム含有顆粒を含む医薬組成物に関する。 The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising levetiracetam-containing granules.
抗てんかん剤のレベチラセタムは、化学名が(2S)-2-(2-オキソピロリジン-1-イル)ブチラミドであり、下記構造式で表される化合物である。
レベチラセタム含有製剤の市販品として、イーケプラドライシロップとイーケプラ錠(大塚製薬株式会社)が知られている。イーケプラドライシロップは、レベチラセタム、D-マンニトール、ポビドン、アスパルテーム、及び香料を含む顆粒と軽質無水ケイ酸粉末との混合末である。また、イーケプラ錠は、レベチラセタム、クロスカルメロースナトリウム、マクロゴール6000EP、軽質無水ケイ酸、ステアリン酸マグネシウム、部分ケン化ポリビニルアルコール、酸化チタン、マクロゴール4000、タルク、黄色三二酸化鉄を含むフィルムコーティング錠である(非特許文献1)。 E Keppra dry syrup and E Keppra tablets (Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) are known as commercially available levetiracetam-containing preparations. E Keppra dry syrup is a mixed powder of granules containing levetiracetam, D-mannitol, povidone, aspartame, and flavoring, and light anhydrous silicic acid powder. E Keppra tablets are film-coated tablets containing levetiracetam, croscarmellose sodium, macrogol 6000EP, light anhydrous silicic acid, magnesium stearate, partially saponified polyvinyl alcohol, titanium oxide, macrogol 4000, talc, and yellow ferric oxide (Non-Patent Document 1).
粉末や顆粒などのレベチラセタム造粒物は、静電付着し易いために、製造装置、計量器具、分包機、包装袋などに付着し易い。このため、製造時、調剤時、分包時、服用時にロスが生じ易い。また、分包量にバラツキが生じたり、頻繁に分包機に詰まるといった難点もある。
また、レベチラセタム造粒物は、保存すると製剤が固まる現象(ブロッキング)が発生し易く、また、塊をほぐしてもサラサラした流動状態になり難い。製剤が固まったり、流動性が低下すると、服用し難く、また吸収した水分により有効成分や添加物が変質する恐れもある。
また、レベチラセタム造粒物は、粒度別のレベチラセタム含有量の均一性が低い、即ち、顆粒の粒度によりレベチラセタムの濃度が異なる場合がある。このため、粒子径が異なることで容器内または分包作業時に顆粒の偏析が起きた場合は、レベチラセタムを均一に分包することができない。
Levetiracetam granules, such as powders and granules, are prone to electrostatic adhesion and therefore tend to adhere to manufacturing equipment, measuring instruments, packaging machines, packaging bags, etc. This leads to losses during manufacturing, dispensing, packaging, and administration. In addition, there are also problems such as variations in the amount of packaging and frequent clogging of packaging machines.
In addition, levetiracetam granules are prone to solidification (blocking) during storage, and even if the lumps are broken down, they are difficult to maintain a smooth flowing state. If the formulation solidifies or its flowability decreases, it becomes difficult to take, and there is also a risk that the absorbed moisture may cause the active ingredients and additives to deteriorate.
In addition, the levetiracetam granules have low uniformity of levetiracetam content by particle size, i.e., the concentration of levetiracetam may vary depending on the particle size of the granules. Therefore, if the granules are segregated in the container or during packaging due to the difference in particle size, levetiracetam cannot be packaged uniformly.
本発明は、レベチラセタム含有顆粒を含む医薬組成物であって、静電付着が抑制された医薬組成物を提供することを課題とする。
また、本発明は、レベチラセタム含有顆粒を含む医薬組成物であって、保存によるブロッキングや流動性の低下が抑制された医薬組成物を提供することを課題とする。
An object of the present invention is to provide a pharmaceutical composition comprising levetiracetam-containing granules, in which electrostatic adhesion is suppressed.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a pharmaceutical composition comprising levetiracetam-containing granules, which is inhibited from blocking or decreasing in fluidity due to storage.
本発明者は、上記課題を解決するために研究を重ね、以下の知見を得た。
(i) レベチラセタム含有顆粒の平均粒子径を200μm以上にすることにより、静電付着が顕著に抑制される。
(ii) レベチラセタム含有顆粒は、コーティング剤として、特に、ヒプロメロース、及び/又はポリビニルアルコール・アクリル酸・メタクリル酸メチル共重合体を含む被覆層を備えることにより、保存によるブロッキング及び/又は流動性の低下が抑制される。
(iii) レベチラセタム含有顆粒を押出造粒法で造粒することにより、粒度別のレベチラセタム含有量の均一性が高くなる。
The present inventors have conducted extensive research to solve the above problems and have obtained the following findings.
(i) By making the average particle size of the levetiracetam-containing granules 200 μm or more, electrostatic adhesion is significantly suppressed.
(ii) The levetiracetam-containing granules are provided with a coating layer containing, as a coating agent, in particular, hypromellose and/or polyvinyl alcohol-acrylic acid-methyl methacrylate copolymer, thereby preventing blocking and/or loss of fluidity due to storage.
(iii) By granulating the levetiracetam-containing granules using an extrusion granulation method, the uniformity of the levetiracetam content by particle size can be increased.
本発明は、上記知見に基づき完成されたものであり、下記の医薬組成物を提供する。
〔1〕 平均粒子径が200μm以上であるレベチラセタム含有顆粒を含む医薬組成物。
〔2〕 レベチラセタム含有顆粒が押出造粒法又は流動層造粒法で製造されている、〔1〕に記載の医薬組成物。

本発明の第1の医薬組成物は、レベチラセタム含有顆粒の平均粒子径が200μm以上であることにより、レベチラセタム含有顆粒の静電付着が顕著に抑えられている。このため、製造装置、薬さじなどの計量器具、分包機、包装袋などへの付着が極めて少なく、従来のレベチラセタム含有顆粒を含む製剤(例えば、イーケプラドライシロプ)に見られる、製造時、調剤又は計量時、分包時、服用時の薬剤ロスや、分包量のバラツキ、分包機の詰まりなどが生じ難い。このように、本発明の第1の医薬組成物は、従来のレベチラセタム含有製剤の欠点であるハンドリング性の低さが改善されている。 In the first pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, the average particle size of the levetiracetam-containing granules is 200 μm or more, and thus electrostatic adhesion of the levetiracetam-containing granules is significantly suppressed. As a result, adhesion to manufacturing equipment, measuring instruments such as medicine spoons, packaging machines, packaging bags, etc. is extremely low, and drug loss during manufacturing, dispensing or measuring, packaging, and administration, variation in packaged amount, clogging of packaging machines, etc., which are seen in conventional preparations containing levetiracetam-containing granules (e.g., E Keppra Dry Syrup), are unlikely to occur. In this way, the first pharmaceutical composition of the present invention improves on the poor handleability that is a drawback of conventional levetiracetam-containing preparations.
また、顆粒の造粒方法としては、押出造粒より流動層造粒の方が、生産効率が良いため汎用されている。しかし、後述するように、顆粒の粒度別のレべチラセタム含有量の均一性は押出造粒の方が優れるため、押出造粒を行いたい場合もある。押出造粒で得られたレベチラセタム含有顆粒は、流動層造粒で得られた同じ粒子径のレベチラセタム含有顆粒に比べて、静電付着が多い傾向にあるが、その場合でも、レベチラセタム含有顆粒の平均粒子径が250μm以上、中でも260μm以上、中でも270μm以上、中でも280μm以上であることにより、静電付着が顕著に抑えられる。 As a method for granulation, fluidized bed granulation is more widely used than extrusion granulation because it has better production efficiency. However, as described below, extrusion granulation is superior in terms of uniformity of levetiracetam content by granule size, so extrusion granulation may be desirable. Levetiracetam-containing granules obtained by extrusion granulation tend to have more electrostatic adhesion than levetiracetam-containing granules of the same particle size obtained by fluidized bed granulation. Even in such cases, electrostatic adhesion is significantly suppressed by setting the average particle size of the levetiracetam-containing granules to 250 μm or more, preferably 260 μm or more, preferably 270 μm or more, and preferably 280 μm or more.
また、本発明の第1の医薬組成物において、顆粒が、ヒプロメロース、及びポリビニルアルコール・アクリル酸・メタクリル酸メチル共重合体からなる群より選ばれる少なくとも1種のコーティング剤を含む被覆層を備えるときは、静電付着が一層効果的に抑制される。 In addition, in the first pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, when the granules have a coating layer containing at least one coating agent selected from the group consisting of hypromellose and polyvinyl alcohol-acrylic acid-methyl methacrylate copolymer, electrostatic adhesion is more effectively suppressed.
また、本発明の第2の医薬組成物は、顆粒が、ヒプロメロース、及びポリビニルアルコール・アクリル酸・メタクリル酸メチル共重合体からなる群より選ばれる少なくとも1種のコーティング剤を含む被覆層を備えることにより、無包装状態で保存しても、吸湿によるブロッキング及び/又は流動性の低下が少ない。従って、保存した後も、服用し易い状態が保たれ、また水分による変質が抑制されている。 In addition, the second pharmaceutical composition of the present invention has a coating layer containing at least one coating agent selected from the group consisting of hypromellose and polyvinyl alcohol-acrylic acid-methyl methacrylate copolymer, so that even when stored unpackaged, there is little blocking and/or loss of fluidity due to moisture absorption. Therefore, even after storage, the composition remains in an easy-to-take state and deterioration due to moisture is suppressed.
以下、本発明を詳細に説明する。
(1)第1の医薬組成物
本発明の第1の医薬組成物は、平均粒子径が200μm以上であるレベチラセタム含有顆粒を含む医薬組成物である。
The present invention will be described in detail below.
(1) First pharmaceutical composition
The first pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is a pharmaceutical composition comprising levetiracetam-containing granules having an average particle size of 200 μm or more.
製剤形態
本発明の第1の医薬組成物の剤型は、レベチラセタム含有顆粒を用いて製造されたものであればよく、顆粒剤、ドライシロップ、カプセル剤(特に、硬カプセル剤)、顆粒を含む成分の打錠により得られる錠剤などが挙げられる。
何れの製剤も、レベチラセタム含有顆粒の他に、添加物を含む粉末及び/又は顆粒を含むことができる。例えば、レベチラセタム及び甘味料を含む顆粒と流動化剤を含むドライシロップが挙げられる。また、レベチラセタム含有顆粒と他の有効成分を含む顆粒との混合末も挙げられる。
Dosage form The dosage form of the first pharmaceutical composition of the present invention may be any dosage form produced using levetiracetam-containing granules, and examples of such dosage forms include granules, dry syrup, capsules (particularly hard capsules), and tablets obtained by compressing ingredients containing granules.
Any of the preparations may contain powder and/or granules containing additives in addition to levetiracetam-containing granules. For example, dry syrup containing granules containing levetiracetam and a sweetener and a flow agent may be used. Also, a mixed powder of levetiracetam-containing granules and granules containing other active ingredients may be used.
本発明の医薬組成物が錠剤である場合、顆粒は錠剤中で粒の形が打錠前と異なっている可能性があるが、このような場合も、本発明では「顆粒を含む」ことを意味する。錠剤は、コーティング剤を含む被覆層を有しない素錠であってもよく、或いは水不溶性ないしは水難溶性のコーティング剤、又は水溶性のコーティング剤を含む被覆層を有していてもよい。 When the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is a tablet, the shape of the granules in the tablet may be different from that before tableting, but even in such a case, the present invention means that the composition "contains granules." The tablet may be a plain tablet that does not have a coating layer containing a coating agent, or may have a coating layer containing a water-insoluble or poorly water-soluble coating agent, or a water-soluble coating agent.
レベチラセタム
レベチラセタムは、薬学的に許容される塩であってもよい。
また、レベチラセタムは、無水物、半水和物、水和物の何れであってもよい。
Levetiracetam Levetiracetam may be a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt.
Levetiracetam may be in the form of anhydrous, hemihydrate or hydrate.
レベチラセタム含有顆粒の平均粒子径は、220μm以上、中でも240μm以上、中でも260μm以上、中でも280μm以上が好ましい。特に、250μm以上、中でも260μm以上、中でも270μm以上、中でも280μm以上であれば、押出造粒法でレベチラセタム含有顆粒を製造した場合も、静電付着が顕著に抑制される。また、レベチラセタム含有顆粒の平均粒子径は、1000μm以下、中でも850μm以下、中でも600μm以下が好ましい。500μm以下、又は400μm以下とすることもできる。この範囲が顆粒剤として使用し易い。
本発明において、レベチラセタム含有顆粒の平均粒子径は、ふるい分け法で測定した値である。
The average particle size of the levetiracetam-containing granules is preferably 220 μm or more, more preferably 240 μm or more, more preferably 260 μm or more, more preferably 280 μm or more. In particular, if the average particle size is 250 μm or more, more preferably 260 μm or more, more preferably 270 μm or more, more preferably 280 μm or more, electrostatic adhesion is significantly suppressed even when the levetiracetam-containing granules are produced by extrusion granulation. The average particle size of the levetiracetam-containing granules is preferably 1000 μm or less, more preferably 850 μm or less, more preferably 600 μm or less. It can also be 500 μm or less, or 400 μm or less. This range is easy to use as a granule.
In the present invention, the average particle size of the levetiracetam-containing granules is a value measured by a sieving method.
被覆層
本発明の第1の医薬組成物は、レベチラセタム含有顆粒の粒子径の設定により静電付着が抑制されているため、レベチラセタム含有顆粒がコーティングされていなくても、静電付着が抑制されている。但し、顆粒は、水不溶性ないしは水難溶性のコーティング剤、又は水溶性のコーティング剤を含む被覆層を備えていてもよい。
レベチラセタム含有顆粒が、コーティング剤として、特にヒプロメロース、及び/又はポリビニルアルコール・アクリル酸・メタクリル酸メチル共重合体を含む被覆層を備えるときは、静電付着が一層効果的に抑制される。また、保存によるブロッキング及び/又は流動性の低下が効果的に抑制される。ヒプロメロースとポリビニルアルコール・アクリル酸・メタクリル酸メチル共重合体の両方を含む場合、1層の被覆層に両コーティング剤が含まれていてもよく、各コーティング剤をそれぞれ含む2層の被覆層を備えていてもよい。
Coating layer In the first pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, electrostatic adhesion is suppressed by setting the particle size of the levetiracetam-containing granules, so that electrostatic adhesion is suppressed even if the levetiracetam-containing granules are not coated. However, the granules may have a coating layer containing a water-insoluble or poorly water-soluble coating agent or a water-soluble coating agent.
When the levetiracetam-containing granules have a coating layer containing, in particular, hypromellose and/or polyvinyl alcohol-acrylic acid-methyl methacrylate copolymer as a coating agent, electrostatic adhesion is more effectively suppressed. In addition, blocking and/or a decrease in fluidity due to storage are effectively suppressed. When both hypromellose and polyvinyl alcohol-acrylic acid-methyl methacrylate copolymer are contained, both coating agents may be contained in one coating layer, or two coating layers each containing one coating agent may be provided.
本発明の第1の医薬組成物において、レベチラセタム含有顆粒が被覆層を備える場合、平均粒子径は、被覆層も含めた顆粒全体について測定した値である。 In the first pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, when the levetiracetam-containing granules have a coating layer, the average particle size is a value measured for the entire granule including the coating layer.
ヒプロメロース、及び/又はポリビニルアルコール・アクリル酸・メタクリル酸メチル共重合体の何れを含む場合も、ヒプロメロース、及び/又はポリビニルアルコール・アクリル酸・メタクリル酸メチル共重合体の総配合量は、0.1重量%以上、中でも0.2重量%以上、中でも0.25重量%以上、中でも0.5重量%以上、中でも1重量%以上、中でも1.3重量%以上が好ましい。この範囲であれば、静電付着抑制効果が十分に向上する。また、保存によるブロッキング及び/又は流動性の低下が十分に抑制される。また、コーティング剤の総配合量は、5重量%以下、中でも3重量%以下、中でも2重量%以下が好ましい。この範囲であれば、顆粒として使用し易い。
この総配合量は、顆粒剤又はドライシロップでは、医薬組成物(製剤)の全量に対する比率であり、硬カプセル剤ではカプセル内に収容される成分の全量に対する比率であり、軟カプセル剤ではカプセル基剤と混合される成分の全量に対する比率であり、錠剤では、錠剤製造に供される顆粒の全量に対する比率である。
In the case where either hypromellose and/or polyvinyl alcohol-acrylic acid-methyl methacrylate copolymer is contained, the total amount of hypromellose and/or polyvinyl alcohol-acrylic acid-methyl methacrylate copolymer is 0.1% by weight or more, preferably 0.2% by weight or more, more preferably 0.25% by weight or more, more preferably 0.5% by weight or more, more preferably 1% by weight or more, and more preferably 1.3% by weight or more. Within this range, the electrostatic adhesion suppression effect is sufficiently improved. In addition, blocking and/or a decrease in fluidity due to storage is sufficiently suppressed. In addition, the total amount of the coating agent is preferably 5% by weight or less, more preferably 3% by weight or less, and more preferably 2% by weight or less. Within this range, it is easy to use as granules.
For granules or dry syrups, this total blend amount is the ratio to the total amount of the pharmaceutical composition (formulation); for hard capsules, it is the ratio to the total amount of ingredients contained in the capsule; for soft capsules, it is the ratio to the total amount of ingredients mixed with the capsule base; and for tablets, it is the ratio to the total amount of granules used in tablet production.
ヒプロメロース、及び/又はポリビニルアルコール・アクリル酸・メタクリル酸メチル共重合体を含む被覆層は、さらに他のコーティング剤を含むことができる。また、レベチラセタム含有顆粒は、ヒプロメロース、及び/又はポリビニルアルコール・アクリル酸・メタクリル酸メチル共重合体を含む被覆層の他に、別のコーティング剤を含む被覆層を備えていてもよい。 The coating layer containing hypromellose and/or polyvinyl alcohol-acrylic acid-methyl methacrylate copolymer may further contain other coating agents. The levetiracetam-containing granule may also have a coating layer containing another coating agent in addition to the coating layer containing hypromellose and/or polyvinyl alcohol-acrylic acid-methyl methacrylate copolymer.

Granules obtained by extrusion granulation are cylindrical or spheroidal rather than spherical. The present invention encompasses a method for producing a pharmaceutical composition containing levetiracetam, comprising the step of producing granules containing levetiracetam and having an average particle size of 200 μm or more by extrusion granulation.
錠剤は、上記のようにして得られた造粒物を打錠するか、又は得られた造粒物と1種以上の添加物とを混合して打錠する方法により製造することができる。また、錠剤は口腔内崩壊錠とすることができる。口腔内崩壊錠は、添加物の種類や配合量、打錠圧などを適宜設定することにより、当業者であれば製造できる。
硬カプセル剤は、ゼラチン、ヒドロキシプロピルメチルセルロースのような硬カプセル内に顆粒を充填することにより製造することができる。
The tablets can be produced by compressing the granulated product obtained as described above, or by mixing the granulated product obtained with one or more additives and compressing the mixture. The tablets can be orally disintegrating tablets. Those skilled in the art can produce orally disintegrating tablets by appropriately setting the type and amount of additives, tableting pressure, etc.
Hard capsules can be prepared by filling the granules into a hard capsule material such as gelatin, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, etc.

ヒプロメロースとポリビニルアルコール・アクリル酸・メタクリル酸メチル共重合体の両方を含む場合、1層の被覆層に両コーティング剤が含まれていてもよく、各コーティング剤をそれぞれ含む2層の被覆層を備えていてもよい。
Coating Layer The second pharmaceutical composition of the present invention has a coating layer containing, in particular, hypromellose and/or polyvinyl alcohol-acrylic acid-methyl methacrylate copolymer as a coating agent, thereby suppressing blocking and loss of fluidity due to moisture absorption.
When both hypromellose and polyvinyl alcohol-acrylic acid-methyl methacrylate copolymer are contained, both coating agents may be contained in one coating layer, or two coating layers each containing one coating agent may be provided.
ヒプロメロース、及び/又はポリビニルアルコール・アクリル酸・メタクリル酸メチル共重合体の総配合量は、0.1重量%以上、中でも0.2重量%以上、中でも0.25重量%以上、中でも0.5重量%以上、中でも1重量%以上、中でも1.3重量%以上が好ましい。この範囲であれば、吸湿によるブロッキングや流動性を十分に抑制できる。また、このコーティング剤の総配合量は、5重量%以下、中でも3重量%以下、中でも2重量%以下が好ましい。この範囲であれば、顆粒として使用し易い。
この総配合量は、顆粒剤又はドライシロップでは、医薬組成物(製剤)の全量に対する比率であり、硬カプセル剤ではカプセル内に収容される成分の全量に対する比率であり、軟カプセル剤ではカプセル基剤と混合される成分の全量に対する比率であり、錠剤では、錠剤製造に供される顆粒の全量に対する比率である。
The total amount of hypromellose and/or polyvinyl alcohol-acrylic acid-methyl methacrylate copolymer is preferably 0.1% by weight or more, more preferably 0.2% by weight or more, more preferably 0.25% by weight or more, more preferably 0.5% by weight or more, more preferably 1% by weight or more, and more preferably 1.3% by weight or more. Within this range, blocking and fluidity due to moisture absorption can be sufficiently suppressed. In addition, the total amount of the coating agent is preferably 5% by weight or less, more preferably 3% by weight or less, and more preferably 2% by weight or less. Within this range, it is easy to use as granules.
For granules or dry syrups, this total blend amount is the ratio to the total amount of the pharmaceutical composition (formulation); for hard capsules, it is the ratio to the total amount of ingredients contained in the capsule; for soft capsules, it is the ratio to the total amount of ingredients mixed with the capsule base; and for tablets, it is the ratio to the total amount of granules used in tablet production.
ヒプロメロース、及び/又はポリビニルアルコール・アクリル酸・メタクリル酸メチル共重合体を含む被覆層は、さらに他のコーティング剤を含むことができる。また、レベチラセタム含有顆粒は、ヒプロメロース、及び/又はポリビニルアルコール・アクリル酸・メタクリル酸メチル共重合体を含む被覆層の他に、別のコーティング剤を含む被覆層を備えていてもよい。 The coating layer containing hypromellose and/or polyvinyl alcohol-acrylic acid-methyl methacrylate copolymer may further contain other coating agents. The levetiracetam-containing granule may also have a coating layer containing another coating agent in addition to the coating layer containing hypromellose and/or polyvinyl alcohol-acrylic acid-methyl methacrylate copolymer.
レベチラセタム含有顆粒の大きさは、平均粒子径200~600μmとすることができる。 The size of the levetiracetam-containing granules can be an average particle size of 200 to 600 μm.
レベチラセタムは、塩であってもよく、無水物、半水和物、水和物の何れであってもよいことは本発明の第1の医薬組成物と同じである。
また、配合できる添加物、ヒプロメロース及びポリビニルアルコール・アクリル酸・メタクリル酸メチル共重合体以外の使用できるコーティング剤、並びに医薬組成物の製造方法も、本発明の第1の医薬組成物について述べたとおりである。本発明は、レベチラセタム含有顆粒を押出造粒法で製造する工程と、得られた顆粒に、ヒプロメロース及び/又はポリビニルアルコール・アクリル酸・メタクリル酸メチル共重合体を含む被覆層を施す工程を含む、レベチラセタム含有医薬組成物の製造方法を包含する。
As in the first pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, levetiracetam may be in the form of a salt, anhydrous, hemihydrate or hydrate.
In addition, additives that can be blended, coating agents that can be used other than hypromellose and polyvinyl alcohol-acrylic acid-methyl methacrylate copolymer, and a method for producing the pharmaceutical composition are also the same as those described for the first pharmaceutical composition of the present invention. The present invention encompasses a method for producing a pharmaceutical composition containing levetiracetam, comprising the steps of producing levetiracetam-containing granules by extrusion granulation and providing the obtained granules with a coating layer containing hypromellose and/or polyvinyl alcohol-acrylic acid-methyl methacrylate copolymer.

本発明の第1の医薬組成物は、製造蔵置、薬さじ、分包機、包装袋などへの静電付着が抑制されているため、製造時、調剤時、分包時、服用時のハンドリング性が良く、薬剤ロスも回避される。また、本発明の第2の医薬組成物は、吸湿の影響が抑えられているため、保存してもブロッキングを生じたり、流動性が低下したりし難い。従って、これらの医薬組成物は、商品価値が高い。
The first pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is suppressed from electrostatically adhering to storage, medicine spoons, packaging machines, packaging bags, etc., and therefore has good handling properties during production, preparation, packaging, and administration, and drug loss is also avoided. In addition, the second pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is suppressed from being affected by moisture absorption, and therefore is unlikely to cause blocking or decrease in fluidity even during storage. Therefore, these pharmaceutical compositions have high commercial value.
