Abstract

Pharmaceutical compositions for sustained release of pharmaceutical compounds comprising a reaction product of a water soluble salt of a pharmaceutically active compound containing a primary, secondary or tertiary amino group, and an alkali or ammonium salt of a synthetic copolymer containing an acid group, and selected from the group consisting of methacrylic acid/methacrylic acid methyl ester, methacrylic acid/acrylic acid methyl ester and methacrylic acid/acrylic acid methyl ester/methacrylic acid methyl ester copolymers and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. The water soluble salt of a pharmaceutically active compound containing a primary, secondary or tertiary amino group is reacted in aqueous medium with an alkali or ammonium salt of a copolymer selected from the group consisting of the above mentioned copolymers, and the resulting product is converted into a pharmaceutical composition.
