Aliphatic amine polymer salts for tableting

摘要

The tablets, compositions and methods of the present invention, comprising a carbonate salt of an aliphatic amine polymer and s monovalent anion can prevent or ameliorate acidosis, in particular acidosis in patients with renal disease. The tablets and compositions of the present invention maintain a disintegration time of no greater than 30 minutes at 37° C. and at pH of at least 1 for a period of at least ten weeks at 60° C. Furthermore, the tablets are stable for extended periods of time without the need for specialized storage conditions.

主权项

1. A tablet, comprising:
a tablet core having a length and a width and the largest dimension of the tablet core is about 0.748 inches, wherein the table core comprises: i) sevelamer carbonate; and ii) sodium chloride, wherein the chloride of the sodium chloride is present in a range of between 0.1 to 1% by weight relative to the combined weights of the sevelamer carbonate and the sodium chloride.
