Fremgangsmåte for fremstilling av faste ikke-poröse mikrokuler

Non-porous solid microspheres have a dia. of 5-300 microns and consist of a mixt. of at least one injectable drug and a carrier. Provided the carrier is a substance naturally present in the recipient organism, it is stable in the solid state at temps. up to at least 60 deg. C and in the recipient physiological medium, and has dissolution kinetics in the recipient organism that are slower than the release kinetics of the drug in the same organism. Carrier is pref. coprosterol, glycocholic acid, cholesterol or a cholesterol este. Drug is pref. e.g, lorazepam, haloperidol, diazepam, biperiden, trihexyphenidyl.HCl, clonazepam, morphine, metoclopramide, acepromazine maleate, domperidone, vincamine etc. Microspheres are produced by dispersing the drug in the carrier, melting the mixt. in an inert gas atmos., spraying the melt under inert gas pressure, cooling the spray to solidify the droplets, and screening the resulting microspheres.
