DRUG CONTAINING (2R)-2-PROPYLOCTANOIC ACID AS THE ACTIVE INGREDIENT

摘要

A drug containing from about one to five equivalents of a basic metal ion supplied from a metal salt of a weak acid or a metal hydroxide per equivalent of (2R)-2-propyloctaonic acid or its salt, which is useful in treating neurodegenerative diseases, optionally together with other additives. The above-described rug is a high-concentration drug which has a pH value suitable for intravenous administration, is highly tolerant to pH changes and remains transparent after diluted to prepare an infusion, thereby enabling the preparation of an injection and so on with the use of an arbitrary solvent and/or a diluting fluid.
