Abstract

The present invention provides a novel pharmaceutical composition based on the use of a particular amount of basic amine which comprises a pyranone compound as a pharmaceutically active agent, a basic amine in an amount of from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of the total composition, one or more pharmaceutically acceptable solvents, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable surfactants. In addition, the composition may further comprises one or more pharmaceutically acceptable oils. The composition is in a form of self-emulsifying formulation which provides high concentration and high oral bioavailability for lipophilic pyranone compounds.
