Abstract

Abstract The bitter taste of ranitidine may be masked by forming an adsorbate with a synthetic cation exchange resin. The adsorbate is particularly suitable for use in pharmaceutical compositions for oral administration such as chewable or suckable tablets, granules and aqueous or non-aqueous suspensions.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim 39 words
A resin adsorbate which comprises a complex formed between ranitidine and a synthetic cation exchange resin, wherein said syntheticati on exchange resin is selected from copolymer of styrene and divinylbenzene which are sulphonated, and copolymers of methacrylic and divinylbenzene.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 39 words
A resin adsorbate which comprises a complex formed between ranitidine and a synthetic cation exchange resin, wherein said syntheticati on exchange resin is selected from copolymer of styrene and divinylbenzene which are sulphonated, and copolymers of methacrylic and divinylbenzene.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 30 words
A resin adsorbate according to claim 1 in which said synthetic cation exchange resin is in acid form or is in the form of a salt with an alkali metal.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 23 words
A resin adsorbate according to claim 1 in which said synthetic cation exchange resin is a methacrylic aciddivinylbenzene resin in free acid form.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 27 words
A resin adsorbate according to claim 1 containing 5 to 70% ranitidine expressed as the weight of ranitidine free base based on the weight of resin adsorbate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 13 words
A resin adsorbate according to claim 5 containing 20 to 30% of ranitidine.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 12 words
A resin adsorbate according to claim 5 containing 15 to 55% ranitidine.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 27 words
A resin adsorbate according to claim 4 containing 5 to 70% ranitidine expressed as the weight of ranitidine free base based on the weight of resin adsorbate.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 12 words
A resin adsorbate according to claim 8 containing 20 to 30% ranitidine.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 12 words
A resin adsorbate according to claim 8 containing 15 to 55% ranitidine.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 18 words
A resin adsorbate according to claim 1 which is substantially free of the bitter taste associated with ranitidine.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 18 words
A resin adsorbate according to claim 4 which is substantially free of the bitter taste associated with ranitidine.
