A stable pharmaceutical composition of thieno [3,2-c] pyridine derivatives includes a water-soluble hydrophilic lubricant, namely polyethylene glycol, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. A preferred thieno [3,2-c] pyridine derivative is ticlopidine or ticlopidine hydrochloride, which is useful for its anti-inflammatory, vasodilator and blood platelet aggregation inhibitor action. The pharmaceutical composition is free or substantially free of magnesium stearate, a water soluble polyvinlypyrrolidone and sodium starch glycollate. |
