Abstract
Abstract A sustained release preparation comprising: (a) chitin, chitosan, or a mixture thereof (b) anionic polymer compounds such as those having a carboxyl group, a sulfonic acid group, or a group capable of providing the same, and (c) pharmaceutically active agents. This sustained release preparation can provide the desired sustained-release or dissolution of the pharmaceutically active agents in human organs irrespective of the acidity (i.e., pH conditions) therein.

Dependent Claim
60 words
A sustained release preparation consisting essentially of: (a) chitin, chitosan, or a mixture thereof; (b) at least one anionic polymer compound, and (c) a pharmaceutically effective amount of at least one pharmaceutically active agent, wherein (b) is present in said preparation in a ratio of from 10 to b 1,000 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of (a).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
A sustained release preparation as claimed in claim 1, wherein the anionic polymer compounds are those having a carboxyl group, a sulfonic acid group, or a group capable of providing the same.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
