| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
