| 20110301129 | GASTRIC RETENTIVE ORAL DOSAGE FORM WITH RESTRICTED DRUG RELEASE IN THE LOWER GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT - Controlled release oral dosage forms are provided for the continuous, sustained administration of a pharmacologically active agent to the upper gastrointestinal tract of a patient in whom the fed mode as been induced. The majority of the agent is delivered, on an extended release basis, to the stomach, duodenum and upper regions of the small intestine, with drug delivery in the lower gastrointestinal tract and colon substantially restricted. The dosage form comprises a matrix of a biocompatible, hydrophilic, erodible polymer with an active agent incorporated therein, wherein the polymer is one that both swells in the presence of water and gradually erodes over a time period of hours, with swelling and erosion commencing upon contact with gastric fluid, and drug release rate primarily controlled by erosion rate. | 12-08-2011 |
| 20110256223 | GASTRIC RETAINED GABAPENTIN DOSAGE FORM - A method of treatment for epilepsy and other disease states is described, which comprises the delivery of gabapentin in a gastric retained dosage form. | 10-20-2011 |
| 20110236485 | SHELL AND CORE DOSAGE FORM APPROACHING ZERO-ORDER DRUG RELEASE - Drugs are formulated as oral dosage forms for controlled release in which the release rate limiting portion is a shell surrounding the drug-containing core. The shell releases drug from the core by permitting diffusion of the drug from the core. The shell also motes gastric retention of the dosage form by swelling upon imbibition of gastric fluid to size that is retained in the stomach during the postprandial or fed mode. | 09-29-2011 |
| 20110218246 | METHODS OF TREATING NON-NOCICEPTIVE PAIN STATES WITH GASTRIC RETENTIVE GABAPENTIN - Provided is a method of treating a patient suffering from a pain state by administering to the patient a gastric retentive dosage form of gabapentin that is capable of administration in once-daily or twice daily dosing regimens. By reducing the need to administer gabapentin from the thrice-daily administrations characteristic of immediate release gabapentin, the gastric retentive gabapentin dosage forms provided herein have the advantages of improving patient compliance for gabapentin treatment. In addition to the foregoing, the gastric retentive gabapentin dosages forms also exhibit decreased blood plasma concentrations and increased bioavailability throughout the dosing regimen. | 09-08-2011 |
| 20110104273 | GASTRIC RETENTIVE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS FOR IMMEDIATE AND EXTENDED RELEASE OF PHENYLEPHRINE - Gastric retentive dosage forms for both immediate and extended release of phenylephrine are described which allow once- or twice-daily dosing. Methods of treatment using the dosage forms and methods of making the dosage forms are also described. | 05-05-2011 |
| 20110104272 | GASTRIC RETENTIVE EXTENDED-RELEASE DOSAGE FORMS COMPRISING COMBINATIONS OF ACETAMINOPHEN AND PHENYLEPHRINE - Compositions and methods for the treatment of a mammal suffering from pain and from nasal congestion or ophthalmic disorders are described. More specifically, a dosage form designed for release of acetaminophen and phenylephrine is described, wherein the dosage form provides delivery of the drugs to the upper gastrointestinal tract (“GI”) of a mammal for an extended period of time. | 05-05-2011 |
| 20110052700 | GASTRIC RETENTIVE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS FOR IMMEDIATE AND EXTENDED RELEASE OF LEVOSULPIRIDE - Gastric retentive oral dosage forms which provide both immediate and extended release of levosulpiride are described which may allow once- or twice-daily dosing. Methods of treatment using the dosage forms and methods of making the dosage forms are also described. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110052685 | GASTRIC RETENTIVE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS FOR IMMEDIATE AND EXTENDED RELEASE OF ACETAMINOPHEN - Gastric retentive dosage forms for extended release of acetaminophen or for both immediate and extended release of acetaminophen are described. The dosage forms allow effective pain relief upon once- or twice-daily dosing. Methods of treatment using the dosage forms and methods of making the dosage forms are also described. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20100196474 | Gastric Retentive Extended-Release Dosage Forms Comprising Combinations of a Non-Opioid Analgesic and an Opioid Analgesic - Compositions and methods for the treatment of pain in a mammal are described. More specifically, a dosage form designed for release of acetaminophen and an opioid is described, wherein the dosage form provides delivery of the drugs to the upper gastrointestinal tract (“GI”) of a mammal for an extended period of time. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100040689 | GASTRIC RETENTIVE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF CNS DISORDERS - The present disclosure is directed to methods and compositions for ameliorating, preventing and treating central nervous system (CNS) disorders. The invention aims to treat subjects suffering from, susceptible to, or diagnosed with CNS disorders, and in particular, to treating patients suffering from those disorders which are associated with neurotransmitter system dysfunction. | 02-18-2010 |

More specifically, a dosage form designed for release of acetaminophen and an opioid is described, wherein the dosage form provides delivery of the drugs to the upper gastrointestinal tract (“GI”) of a mammal for an extended period of time. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20090209645 | METHODS FOR TREATING VASOMOTOR SYMPTOMS USING GABA ANALOGS IN A GASTRIC RETENTIVE DOSAGE FORM - Methods for treating vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause are described. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20090176882 | GASTRIC RETENTIVE GABAPENTIN DOSAGE FORMS AND METHODS FOR USING SAME - Provided is a method of treating a patient suffering from a pain state by administering to the patient a gastric retentive dosage form of gabapentin that is capable of administration in once-daily or twice daily dosing regimens. By reducing the need to administer gabapentin from the thrice-daily administrations characteristic of immediate release gabapentin, the gastric retentive gabapentin dosage forms provided herein have the advantages of improving patient compliance for gabapentin treatment. In addition to the foregoing, the gastric retentive gabapentin dosages forms also exhibit decreased blood plasma concentrations and increased bioavailability throughout the dosing regimen. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090028941 | Pulsatile gastric retentive dosage forms - Dosage forms for delayed and pulsed release of therapeutic agents into the stomach are described. The dosage forms are gastric retentive dosage forms that achieve release of the therapeutic agent into the stomach and upper gastrointestinal tract subsequent to administration of the dosage form. The dosage forms find particular use in administration of acid-labile active agents such as proton pump inhibitors, and in treating gastric acid secretion such as gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) and nocturnal acid breakthrough (NAB). | 01-29-2009 |
