Preparation of aqueous clear solution dosage forms with bile acids
First Claim
1. An aqueous solution free of precipitates or particles comprising:
- (i) a first material selected from the group consisting of an aqueous soluble bile acid salt, a bile acid conjugated with an amine by an amide linkage, and combinations thereof;
(ii) a second material selected from the group consisting of maltodextrin, dextrin, corn syrup, corn syrup solid, soluble starch, and dextrans, and combinations thereof;
(iii) at least one alkali, and(iv) water,wherein the first and second materials both remain in solution for all pH values obtainable in an aqueous system.

Abstract
Compositions for pharmaceutical and other uses comprising clear aqueous solutions of bile acids which do not form any detectable precipitates over selected ranges of pH values of the aqueous solution and methods of making such solutions. The compositions of the invention comprise water; a bile acid in the form of a bile acid, bile acid salt, or a bile acid conjugated with an amine by an amide linkage; and either or both an aqueous soluble starch conversion product and an aqueous soluble non-starch polysaccharide. The composition remains in solution without forming a precipitate over a range of pH values and, according to one embodiment, remains in solution for all pH values obtainable in an aqueous system. The composition, according to some embodiments, may further contain a pharmaceutical compound in a pharmaceutically effective amount. Non-limiting examples of pharmaceutical compounds include insulin, heparin, bismuth compounds, amantadine and rimantadine.
