20090186092 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING ORAL OSMOTIC DRUG DELIVERY DEVICES, AND METHODS OF ADMINISTERING SAME - A system and method for manufacturing oral osmotic drug delivery devices including the use of a mathematical model in deriving relationships between parameters used in manufacturing the devices for a desired release rate of the active drug substance contained therein. The derived relationship is then used to control the parameters so that the active substance within the device is delivered at a desired rate. Methods of administering the oral osmotic drug delivery devices are also provided. Use of a mathematical model in deriving relationships between parameters used in the drug granulation process for a desired range of percentage fines of the drug granulation substance. The derived relationship is then used to control the parameters in the drug granulation process so that the desired percentage fines are obtained in the drug granulation substance. | 07-23-2009 |
20090012167 | Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Dyslipidemic Agent for Lipid Therapy - A method and composition for blood lipid therapy by administering to the subject an effective amount of a dyslipidemic agent and omega-3 fatty acids. The method utilizes a single administration or a unit dosage of a combination of dyslipidemic agent and omega-3 fatty acids for the treatment of patients with hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, mixed dyslipidemia, coronary heart disease (CHD), vascular disease, artherosclerotic disease and related conditions, and the prevention or reduction of cardiovascular and vascular events. | 01-08-2009 |
20080248114 | ORAL OSMOTIC DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM - The present invention relates, generally, to oral osmotic drug delivery systems, methods of preparing same, and methods of using oral osmotic drug delivery systems to provide controlled delivery of a drug. The oral osmotic drug delivery systems include a drug layer, an osmotic layer, and an outer coating surrounding the drug layer and osmotic layer, where the outer coating includes at least one opening therein that is provided adjacent the drug layer. The composition (% fines), shape, and weight gain of the oral osmotic delivery systems may be modified in order to provide for optimized release of the drug contained therein. | 10-09-2008 |
