Abstract

A solid dosage pharmaceutical formulation comprising as an active ingredient the potassium salt of N-[(3R,6S)-6-(2,3-difluorophenyl)-2-oxo-1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)azepan-3-yl]-4-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-1-yl)piperidine-1-carboxamide (telcagepant), arginine, and a pharmaceutically acceptable surfactant. The invention is also directed to an amorphous form of the potassium salt of telcagepant.
