The present invention relates to an oral enteric high-dose tablet comprising mesalazine as the active substance as well as its use.

The present invention relates to solid compositions comprising a GLP-1 peptide and a delivery agent, such as SNAC, as well as uses thereof.

An oral methylphenidate extended release tablet is described, which can be scored and still retain its extended release profile. The tablet contains a combination of an uncoated methylphenidate-ion exchange resin complex, a barrier coated methylphenidate-ion exchange resin complex-matrix, and an uncomplexed methylphenidate active component. Following administration of a single dose of the extended release methylphenidate chewable tablet, a therapeutically effective amount of methylphenidate is reached in less than about 20 minutes and the composition provides a twelve-hour extended release profile.

Following administration of a single dose of the extended release methylphenidate chewable tablet, a therapeutically effective amount of methylphenidate is reached in less than about 20 minutes and the composition provides a twelve-hour extended release profile.

There is provide an extended release dosage form comprising a release modifying excipient comprising high amylose starch, cross-linked hydroxypropylated amylopectin, and a pre-gelatinized common starch; wherein the release modifying excipient is substantially free of crosslinks between amylose and amylopectin and substantially free of crosslinks between amylose and amylose. It has been found that the extended release properties of conventional cross-linked high amylose starches (e.g., Contramid®) can be reproduced by intimately mixing i) cross-linked chemically modified amylopectin; ii) a high amylose, non-chemically modified starch and; iii) a pre-gelatinized common starch. Producing a release modifying excipient in this way means that no chemical cross linking between (a) amylose and amylopectin or (b) amylose and amylose has occurred—properties heretofore considered vital for Contramid® function. The release modifying excipient blends overcome problems associated with use of Contramid, and provide a flexible platform for formulation of active pharmaceutical ingredients for controlled release applications.

The present application relates to a method of orally administering once daily tablet of minocycline to a subject in need thereof, wherein said tablet is substantially free of lactose. The present application also relates to processes for preparing said once daily tablet of minocycline that provides reduced stock keeping units with improved inventory by supplying multiple doses of minocycline in single tablet.

At present, the most prevalent pharmaceutical dosage forms, the oral immediate-release tablets and capsules, are granular solids. The problem of such solids is that their microstructure and properties are not predictable from physical models. As a consequence, product development and manufacture are resource-intensive and time-consuming, and quality control is statistical by testing instead of by design. Furthermore, the range of the drug release rate, and the variety of active ingredients that can be processed to a functional product, are limited in such dosage forms. Presented herein, accordingly, is a fibrous dosage form suitable for immediate-release applications prepared by a predictable liquid-based process. The fibrous dosage form includes a drug-containing solid comprising a three dimensional structural network of one or more drug-containing fibers.

The present invention relates to a novel solid presentation form of a phenol derivative, characterized by a rounded portion and a flat portion. The compositions thus obtained have advantageous properties suitable for the storage, handling and flow of the compounds. The present invention also relates to a process for preparing these solids, and to the use thereof, in particular in the polymer and agri-food industries.

Provided are: a thin tablet that is easy to pick up, a thin tablet producing method, and a thin tablet producing apparatus.

A thin tablet 100 includes: a main body 110 including a planar surface 111; and protrusions 120 provided on the surface 111. When the thin tablet 100 is disposed on a virtual outer plane 130, a gap 135 is formed between at least a part of an outer edge 113 surrounding the surface 111 provided with the protrusion 120 and the outer plane 130 with the protrusion 120 in contact with the outer plane 130.

Intravesical devices are provided that are wholly deployable within the bladder of a patient in need of treatment and are well tolerated by the patient. The device may include an elastic body having a retention shape having (i) dimensions that provide intravesical mobility and that prevent voiding of the medical device through the urethra, and (ii) dimensions, buoyancy, or both, that exclude the medical device from entering the orifices of the ureters. The elastic body may exert a maximum acting force less than 1N when compressed to a shape with a maximum dimension in any dimension of 3 cm. The device may include a drug for controlled release within the bladder, for treatment of the bladder or a regional tissue. Methods of treatment are also provided that include selecting a patient in need of treatment in the bladder where tolerability of the treatment is a primary concern.
