20090022797 | Stabilized tolterodine tartrate formulations - A pharmaceutical composition contains tolterodine L-tartrate stabilized against degradation with an acid. Acid-stabilized tolterodine L-tartrate may be used to make various types of immediate release and controlled release dosage forms. | 01-22-2009 |
20090022807 | Drug formulations having inert sealed cores - A drug composition comprising a coated bead is used in the manufacture of immediate release and/or controlled release drug compositions. In a specific embodiment, the bead includes an inert core of a water-soluble or water-swellable material, which has been coated with a seal layer formed from a non-polymeric hydrophobic material. The immediate and/or controlled release beads may be used to form tablets or capsules. A method of making the beads by sequential deposition of multiple layers on the inert cores is also described. | 01-22-2009 |
20090169616 | FORMULATION AND METHOD FOR THE RELEASE OF PAROXETINE IN THE LARGE INTESTINE - The present invention provides a delayed and/or controlled release formulation of paroxetine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof that is formulated to release a substantial portion of the active ingredient (e.g., paroxetine) in the large intestine of an individual in need thereof. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a controlled release paroxetine composition comprising paroxetine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in a controlled release swallow pharmaceutical formulation, that upon administration, releases the paroxetine substantially in the large intestine. For example, the controlled release paroxetine formulation may be formulated to release greater than about 50% of the paroxetine in the large intestine. | 07-02-2009 |
20090292016 | Stable Pharmaceutical Compositions Containing Pravastatin - Stabilized pharmaceutical preparations containing a drug which is sensitive to a low pH environment, such as pravastatin are disclosed in which pravastatin degradations is prevented with a buffering agent. The basic excipient enhances storage stability. | 11-26-2009 |
20100209495 | GRANULATES, PROCESS FOR PREPARING THEM AND PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS CONTAINING THEM - A granulate for use in a pharmaceutical composition and a pharmaceutical composition manufacture using the granulate, where the granule comprises an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) having a poor water solubility (i.e., less than about 1 mg/mL) which is intimately associated with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable hydrophilic polymer. The granule optionally contains one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, such as disintegrants, wetting agents, diluents, binders, lubricants, glidants, coloring agents and flavoring agents. The invention also relates to a process for preparing the pharmaceutical granulate and pharmaceutical compositions containing the granulate. | 08-19-2010 |
20100209500 | CONTROLLED RELEASE BUDESONIDE MINITABLETS - Embodiments of a controlled release minitablet comprise an extended release core and an optional pH dependent delayed release coating thereon, wherein the extended release core comprises budesonide, a carrier, an extended release polymer, and an acid. The budesonide may be embedded in the extended release polymer to facilitate extended release of the budesonide upon administration. | 08-19-2010 |
20100209501 | CONTROLLED RELEASE BUDESONIDE MINITABLETS - Embodiments of a controlled release minitablet comprise an extended release core and an optional pH dependent delayed release coating thereon, wherein the extended release core comprises budesonide, a carrier, and an extended release polymer. The budesonide may be embedded in the extended release polymer to facilitate extended release of the budesonide upon administration. | 08-19-2010 |
20110311627 | CONTROLLED RELEASE LEVETIRACETAM FORMULATIONS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME - Pharmaceutical compositions in the form of tablets are disclosed including water-soluble active ingredients such as levetiracetam and a polymer component which primarily includes water-insoluble polymers comprising between 60% and 100% of the polymer component in the tablet core, preferably the entire polymer component in the tablet core. The pharmaceutical compositions can also include an extended-release coating including both water-soluble and water-insoluble polymers. | 12-22-2011 |
20130296439 | STABILIZED TOLTERODINE TARTRATE FORMULATIONS - A method of making a pharmaceutical composition containing tolterodine L-tartrate stabilized against degradation with an acid. Acid-stabilized tolterodine L-tartrate may be used as an active ingredient in various types of immediate release and controlled release dosage forms, including tablets, capsules, and beads. | 11-07-2013 |
20140275239 | Dronedarone Formulation - Dronedarone formulations. Formulations of dronedarone are disclosed that provide consistent release and absorption of dronedarone that is independent of food ingestion. The disclosed formulation achieves this result through the inclusion of rate-controlling polymers, such as cellulose derivatives, acrylic polymers, and natural polymers. The dosage form may be prepared through blending, dry granulation, or wet granulation, followed by compression into a tablet. | 09-18-2014 |
20140275242 | HOT MELT GRANULATION FORMULATIONS OF POORLY WATER-SOLUBLE ACTIVE AGENTS - The presently disclosed subject matter is directed to a granule, wherein the granule has an active agent and a wax dispersed therein, and the granule exhibits excellent friability when compressed to form a pharmaceutical composition. The subject matter disclosed herein is also directed to methods of preparing the granules and the pharmaceutical compositions comprising the granules. The compositions and methods disclosed provide granules and pharmaceutical compositions for immediate release of the active agent and do not substantially prolong the release of the active agent from the granule. | 09-18-2014 |
20150086626 | STABLE DOSAGE FORMS OF SKELETAL MUSCLE RELAXANTS WITH EXTENDED RELEASE COATING - A unit dosage form, such as a capsule or the like, for delivering a skeletal muscle relaxant, such as cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride, into the body in an extended or sustained release fashion comprising one or more populations of drug-containing particles (beads, pellets, granules, etc.) is disclosed along with a method of preparation therefor. The dosage form comprises active core particles which are individually surrounded by a water insoluble polymer coating which lacks plasticizer. | 03-26-2015 |
