Pharmaceutical benzoic acid is prepared from raw benzoic acid made of oxidation of toluene with an oxygen containing gas, the process is characterized in that the oxidation reaction product is contacted with at least I m3 per kg of benzoic acid of a gas with a critical temperature lower than 435 K by passing this gas through the oxidation reaction product at a flow rate of at least 1 m3 per hour per kg of benzoic acid at a temperature of 340-600 K. and a pressure of at least 3 MPa. The pharmaceutical benzoic acid is separated from the mixture by cooling it to 315370 K. at a pressure of 3-300 MPa.

A prepackaged, injectable pharmaceutical hypodermic needle has semi-rigid outer container, supported within which is a substantially non-resiliant inner container containing a premeasured dose of the pharmaceutical. A cannula extending through and fixed with respect to the outer container is adapted to pierce the inner container for injection of the pharmaceutical upon manual collapsing or squeezing of the outer container. Air flow openings in the outer container permit the flow of air into the cavity between the inner and outer containers upon manual release during successive manual compression or squeezing operations, thereby obviating the possibility of negative air pressure being exerted upon the inner container.
