SOLID COMPOSITIONS SUITABLE FOR ORAL ADMINISTRATION CONTAINING NON-HYGROSCOPIC SALTS OF L-CARNITINE AND THE ALKANOYL L-CARNITINES WITH TAURINE CHLORIDE AND GLYCINE CHLORIDE

摘要

Described herein are both non-hydroscopic salts of L-carnitine and alkanoyl L-carnitine with taurine chloride (2-aminoethane-sulphonic chloride) which lend themselves favourably to the preparation of solid compositions suitable for oral administration. Also described are solid compositions containing the salts. The salts are of the general formula (I): (see formula I) wherein R is H or a straight or branched lower alkanoyl with 2-5 carbon atoms.
