  • Active 34, mannitol and microcrystalline cellulose were sieved through mesh screens of specified size (generally 250 to 750 ⁇ m) and combined in a suitable blender. The mixture was subsequently blended (typically 15 to 30 min) until the drug was uniformly distributed in the resulting dry powder blend. Magnesium stearate was screened and added to the blender, after which a precompression tablet blend was achieved upon additional mixing (typically 2 to 10 min). The precompression tablet blend was then compacted under an applied force, typically ranging from 0.5 to 2.5 metric tons, sufficient to yield tablets of suitable physical strength with acceptable disintegration times (specifications will vary with the size and potency of the compressed tablet). In the case of the 2, 10 and 50 mg potencies, the tablets were dedusted and film-coated with an aqueous dispersion of water-soluble polymers and pigment. Tablet preparation via dry granulation
  • a dry powder blend is compacted under modest forces and remilled to afford granules of specified particle size.
  • the granules are then mixed with magnesium stearate and tabletted as stated above.
  • Intravenous Formulations Intravenous formulations of 34 were prepared according to general intravenous formulation procedures.
  • compositions A-C are as follows:
  • buffer acids such as L-lactic acid, acetic acid, citric acid or any pharmaceutically acceptable acid/conjugate base with reasonable buffering capacity in the pH range acceptable for intravenous administration may be substituted for glucuronic acid.
