The present application describes pharmaceutical formulations of bromocriptine mesylate and methods of manufacturing and using such formulations. The formulations are useful for improving glycemic control in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

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.

The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising fixed dose combinations of a SGLT-2 inhibitor drug and a partner drug, processes for the preparation thereof, and their use to treat certain diseases.

The subject invention provides a solid unit dosage form comprising pridopidine or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, wherein the dosage form has a volume and wherein the ratio of the amount of pridopidine to the volume of the dosage form is 135-600 mg/ml.

The invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions such as tablets that exhibit delayed release properties when administered as either whole or half tablets. The invention is also directed to delayed release tablets comprising deferiprone for oral administration, for which twice daily administration is bioequivalent to the same daily dose of an immediate release tablet administered thrice daily. The invention is also directed to methods of making and using the same.

The invention relates to a dosage form comprising a physiologically effective amount of a physiologically active substance (A), a synthetic, semi-synthetic or natural polymer (C), optionally one or more physiologically acceptable auxiliary substances (B) and optionally a synthetic, semi-synthetic or natural wax (D), wherein the dosage form exhibits a resistance to crushing of at least 400 N and wherein under physiological conditions the release of the physiologically active substance (A) from the dosage form is at least partially delayed.

An ingestible pill is provided that includes an enteric coating and a medication-delivery device, which includes (a) a patch having upper and lower surfaces that face in generally opposite directions, and (b) needles. The patch is disposed within the enteric coating, folded so as to define one or more creases, which define respective inner and outer crease sides, wherein at least 50% of the needles are coupled to the patch along the inner crease sides. The patch is configured to assume, after the enteric coating dissolves, an expanded shape, in which the patch has an outer perimeter. Other embodiments are also described.

The present invention relates to an apremilast sustained release preparation. Specifically, the present invention relates to an apremilast composition which is a sustained release preparation having a high bioavailability in the body. The present invention provides a sustained release drug preparation containing an apremilast sustained release component and a site-specific release component therefor. Within in vitro release testing, the release speed is steady and constant.

The disclosure relates to obeticholic acid formulations with improved stability, dissolution, and/or solubility, methods of preparing the same for use and methods of treating various diseases and conditions.

Provided are a metformin hydrochloride osmotic pump tablet and a preparation method therefor. According to the preparation method, a hetero-type stamping-prepared metformin hydrochloride tablet core is used, and a controlled-release coating is wrapped outside the stamped metformin hydrochloride tablet core, such that the metformin hydrochloride osmotic pump tablet is prepared.
