20130230596 | Abuse-Resistant Oral Dosage Forms And Method Of Use Thereof - An opioid-antagonist oral dosage form which does not release a therapeutically effective amount of the opioid antagonist when the oral dosage form is orally administered to a human being, but whereby a physical alteration of the oral dosage form results in a release of the therapeutically effective amount of the opioid antagonist. An embodiment of the oral dosage form includes an opioid-antagonist layer coated onto a biologically inert pellet, and a non-releasing membrane coated onto the opioid-antagonist layer. Optionally, the oral dosage form can also include an opioid agonist, such that a method of preventing the abuse of an oral dosage form of an opioid agonist is provided by forming the oral dosage form including an opioid agonist and an opioid antagonist. | 09-05-2013 |
20130084333 | ABUSE RESISTANT ORAL DOSAGE FORMS - Aspects of the present invention are directed to abuse resistant oral dosage forms comprising a compressed microtablet that is coated with a water-retardant polymer. Additional aspects of the present invention are directed to an oral dosage form comprising an opioid agonist and at least one compressed microtablet coated with a water retardant polymer. The compressed microtablet may comprise an opioid antagonist. | 04-04-2013 |
20120189693 | ORAL DOSAGE FORMS - Aspects of the present invention are directed to oral dosage forms comprising a compressed microtablet, wherein said microtablet has a major dimension that is between about 0.25 mm and about 1.0 mm and comprises at least about 0.01 weight percent of at least one pharmaceutically active agent that is distributed substantially throughout said microtablet. Additional aspects of the present invention are directed to methods for producing compressed microtablets having a major dimension that is between about 0.25 mm and about 1.0 mm. | 07-26-2012 |
