Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0069417A1] The present invention provides a process for producing cefaclor crystalline bulk material having a dissolution rate in a capsule of >/= 80% in water in 30 minutes. One process route includes reducing the water content of cefaclor dihydrates or bulk material containing cefaclor dihydrate to produce a cefaclor form having a water content </= 2%. The cefaclor having the lower water content can then be rehydrated to a water content from 3.0 to 6.5% without adversely affecting the dissolution rate. An alternative process includes the addition of at least 0.05% of cefaclor related substances to inhibit conversion of the monohydrate to the dihydrate form.
