| 20090092672 | ORALLY DISINTEGRATING TABLET COMPOSITIONS OF LAMOTRIGINE - The compositions of the present invention composition comprise a therapeutically effective amount of particles comprising lamotrigine, in combination with granules comprising a disintegrant, and a sugar alcohol and/or a saccharide. These compositions are useful in treating epilepsy and bipolar disorder, particularly for patients with dysphagia, and to improve compliance with bipolar patients. | 04-09-2009 |
| 20090258066 | COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING WEAKLY BASIC DRUGS AND CONTROLLED-RELEASE DOSAGE FORMS - The present invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions, and methods of making such compositions, comprising microparticles containing a weakly basic drug core, a layer of alkaline buffer, and a controlled-release coating. The present invention is also directed to pharmaceutical dosage forms, including orally disintegrating tablets, conventional tablets, and capsules, and methods for their preparation. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20090263480 | TASTE-MASKED PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS PREPARED BY COACERVATION - There is provided a method for preparing an orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) composition comprising microparticles of one or more taste-masked active pharmaceutical ingredients, rapidly-dispersing microgranules, and other optional, pharmaceutically acceptable excipients wherein the ODT disintegrates rapidly with saliva in the buccal cavity forming a smooth, easy-to-swallow suspension. Furthermore, the microparticles (crystals, granules, beads or pellets containing one or more actives) with a taste-masking membrane applied by a modified solvent coacervation process comprising a water-insoluble polymer and at least one gastrosoluble inorganic or organic pore-former, exhibit a pleasant taste when placed in the oral cavity and provide rapid, substantially-complete release of the dose on entry into the stomach. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20100303905 | Orally Disintegrating Tablet Compositions of Lamotrigine - The compositions of the present invention composition comprise a therapeutically effective amount of particles comprising lamotrigine, in combination with granules comprising a disintegrant, and a sugar alcohol and/or a saccharide. These compositions are useful in treating epilepsy and bipolar disorder, particularly for patients with dysphagia, and to improve compliance with bipolar patients. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20100330150 | Orally Disintegrating Tablet Compositions Comprising Combinations of High and Low-Dose Drugs - The present invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a plurality of taste-masked high-dose/low-dose drug-containing microparticles, dosage forms comprising such pharmaceutical compositions (such as an orally disintegrating tablet), and methods of making the pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms of the present invention. Dosage forms comprising the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention are improved homogeneous blends of high-dose and low-dose drugs which provide for more convenient and palatable administration of drug combinations, for example for treating pain, hyperglycemia, cardiovascular disease, and allergies. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110003006 | Orally Disintegrating Tablet Compositions Comprising Combinations of Non-Opioid and Opioid Analgesics - The present invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a plurality of taste-masked non-opioid analgesic/opioid analgesic drug-containing microparticles, dosage forms comprising such pharmaceutical compositions (such as an orally disintegrating tablet), and methods of making the pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms of the present invention. Dosage forms comprising the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention are improved homogeneous blends of non-opioid and opioid analgesics which provide for more convenient and palatable administration of drug combinations, for example for treating pain. | 01-06-2011 |
