Abstract

Abstract A method for manufacturing a pharmaceutical preparation which comprises melting an amide compound of the formula: WHEREIN R is a straight or branched, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon group having 17 to 25 carbon atoms substituted or not with hydroxyl and R1, R2, R3 and R4 are each a hydrogen atom, a haolgen atom, a lower alkyl group or a lower alkoxy group but all of them are not simultaneously hydrogen atoms in the form of a paste or wax-like solid at an ordinary temperature in the presence of oil-soluble anti-oxidizing agents, emulsifying the resulting melted mixture with a gellating agent in the presence of water-soluble anti-oxidizing agents and saccharides and/or sugar alcohols, spraying the resultant emulsion onto fine particles of a water-absorptive material and separating the gelled fine beads of the amide compound from the fine particles of the water-absorptive material, followed by drying. The thus manufactured preparation of the amide compound is highly stable to air oxidation, easily administrable through an intestinal route and exhibits a highly pharmacological activity.
