| 20080260818 | Controlled Absorption of Statins in the Intestine - The present invention provides a controlled absorption formulation in which modified release of active ingredient preferentially occurs in the lower gastrointestinal tract, including the colon. The formulation supports a significantly higher bioavailability of the active ingredient into the body of the subject than can be achieved from the currently used conventional formulation, such that therapeutically significant plasma levels of statin are maintained for an extended period after administration. The formulation preferably features a core over which an outer coating is layered. The core is optionally and preferentially in the form of a tablet. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20080300675 | POLYMERIC STENTS AND OTHER SURGICAL ARTICLES - A biocompatible non-memory expandable polymeric article selected from stents, implantable prostheses, catheters, other surgical articles and sealants for implantable prostheses, and which is at least in part biodegradable and includes a combination where hollow cylindrical element (2) is depicted in cutaway form to reveal helical element (4), terminated schematically at (6) and where a combination of at least one thermoplastic elastomeric component and at least one thermoplastic non-elastomeric component, the article being either porous articles or having the potential to become porous by action of body fluids in situ), the thermoplastic non-elastomeric component being present in such an amount as will provide mechanical strength and rigidity to the article when in an expanded mode. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090196889 | CONTROLLED ABSORPTION OF STATINS IN THE INTESTINE - The present invention provides a controlled absorption formulation in which modified release of active ingredient preferentially occurs in the lower gastrointestinal tract, including the colon. The formulation supports a significantly higher bioavailability of the active ingredient into the body of the subject than can be achieved from the currently used conventional formulation, such that therapeutically significant plasma levels of statin are maintained for an extended period after administration. The formulation preferably features a core over which an outer coating is layered. The core is optionally and preferentially in the form of a tablet. | 08-06-2009 |
| 20090208539 | STABLE ATORVASTATIN FORMULATIONS - A simple yet efficient formulation for providing excellent bioefficacy, wherein the formulation includes atorvastatin or a salt thereof, in crystalline or amorphous form, with at least one pharmaceutical excipient selected to a form of atorvastatin that has beneficial properties, such as enhanced stability. These formulations do not need to include a stabilizer. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20100055173 | RELEASE OF STATINS IN THE INTESTINE - The present invention provides a controlled absorption formulation in which modified release of the active ingredient preferentially occurs in the lower gastrointestinal tract, including the colon. The formulation supports a significantly higher bioavailability of the active ingredient in the body of the subject than that can be achieved from the currently used conventional formulation, such that therapeutically significant plasma levels of statin are maintained for an extended period after administration. The formulation preferably features a core, a subcoat surrounding the core comprising at least one water soluble hydrophilic carrier and an outer coating. The core is optionally and preferably in the form of a tablet. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100297226 | MULTIPLE UNIT PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATION - An orally disintegratable benzimidazole formulation, featuring a plurality of compressed pellets in a MUPS tablet. The individual units feature a substrate with the active ingredient and an enteric coating, optionally with a subcoating between the substrate and the enteric coating. The individual units are preferably at least partially coated with an outer coating which features a stress absorber, thereby enabling the pellets to be compressed without disturbing the integrity of the enteric coating. The enteric coating preferably does not feature a plasticizer. | 11-25-2010 |
| 20100303962 | PROCESS FOR PREPARING BAKEABLE PROBIOTIC FOOD - Heat-processed health food is provided, as well as a process for making it, the food being particularly probiotic pastry which comprises a probiotic component capable of resisting baking heat, and so it beneficially affects the consumer's intestinal microbial balance. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20110033506 | COMBINATION DOSAGE FORM OF LOW-DOSE MODAFINIL AND LOW-DOSE SILDENAFIL - Modified release formulations comprising at least one of modafinil and sildenafil, and combinations thereof, and a time-controlled delivery system coating. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20110038933 | STABLE BENZIMIDAZOLE FORMULATION - A benzimidazole formulation which lacks an intermediate layer and yet which is stable both during storage and during the passage through the stomach, and which has low levels of residual volatile excipients, including but not limited to residual alkalinizing agents and/or residual solvents. | 02-17-2011 |
| 20110111026 | HUMIDITY-RESISTANT DRUG FORMULATIONS AND METHODS OF PREPARATION THEREOF - The invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition of a humidity-sensitive core comprising an active ingredient or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; a coating over the core, the coating containing a cationic polymer; and an additional coating over the cationic polymer-containing coating, with the additional coating including an acidifying agent. Also, methods for preparing such compositions wherein a cationic polymer containing coating is applied over a humidity-sensitive core that contains the active ingredient or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; and then an additional coating is applied over the cationic polymer containing coating. | 05-12-2011 |
