potential for overheating the prasterone during a dry micronization alternatively one may want to micronize under nitrogen the prasterone u2014 durable liquid vehicle may be coated onto a substrate such as micronized lactose for example one could mix 2 parts w w micronized prasterone into 1 parts w w of a fatty acid such as cholesterol pivalate trimethyl acetate and then coat this mixture onto micronized lactose i would expect the cholesterol pivalate to slightly increase the bioavailability auc of the prasterone when compared to plain micronized prasterone coated onto lactose nonetheless while the use of coated cores and the like is possible i see no compelling advantage to using such more complex delivery systems rather than using a simple suspension of prasterone in durable liquid vehicle 1 a soft gelatin capsule suitable for oral administration said soft gelatin capsule comprising a soft gelatin capsule and a fill said fill comprising a durable liquid vehicle and at least about 100 milligrams of micronized prasterone wherein at least about 80 of said micronized prasterone has a particle size of less than about 20 microns said prasterone having a purity of at least about 98 said prasterone further characterized in having no single impurity being greater than 1 w w of the total mass of the prasterone said soft gelatin capsule having an outer lubricant coating 2 the gelatin capsule of paragraph 1 wherein said fill is a liquid suspension or solution at normal atmospheric pressure.
