A process for preparing a powdered pharmaceutical composition containing amoxycillin trihydrate

摘要

Injectable pharmaceutical compositions are provided which comprise fine particles of amoxycillin trihydrate coated with a dispersing agent, the ratio of amoxycillin trihydrate to dispersing agent being from 1000:1 to 20:1. A preferred dispersing agent is a mixture of polyvinylpyrrolidone and lecithin. Such compositions give surprising prolonged blood levels of amoxycillin after administration. The compositions can be used in the treatment of both humans and domestic animals.
