The present invention concerns powders containing a pharmaceutical active substance and a combination of excipients comprising at least one 1,4 O-linked saccharose derivative selected from the compounds: 1,4 O-linked D-Gal-saccharose (lactosucrose), 1,4 O-linked D-Glu-saccharose (glucosyl sucrose), or 1,4 O-linked Glu-Glu-saccharose (maltosyl sucrose) in combination with at least one further excipient. The other excipient is preferably an amino acid, a peptide and/or a mono-, di- and/or oligosaccharide, wherein the oligosaccharide may be a second 1,4 O-linked saccharose derivative, provided that this is different from the first. |
