The present disclosure relates to an orally administered pharmaceutical formulation containing an inclusion complex formed as varenicline or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is included in cyclodextrin. The pharmaceutical formulation can improve convenience of medication by effectively masking the bitter taste of the drug and the irritation during swallowing, can provide the oxidation stability of varenicline and can improve the solubility of the drug.

Compositions for the immediate release of one or more cannabinoids, in which the compositions comprise a population of particles. Each particle may comprise the one or more cannabinoids and one or more intra-granule excipients. Alternatively, each particle may comprise the one or more cannabinoids and a porous bead core. The composition may be prepared by a method that involves combining the one or more cannabinoids with the one or more intra-granule excipients, and then granulating the combination, such as through fluid bed granulation, shear-induced wet granulation, or spray granulation. The composition may also be prepared by a method that involves mixing the one or more cannabinoids with a population of porous bead cores.

A method of preparing a therapeutic composition from the epidermal gelatinous secretion of catfish includes mixing catfish epidermal gel secretions (EGS) with phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.5) to provide an extract, homogenizing the extract to provide a homogenized extract, and centrifuging the homogenized extract to provide a soluble protein fraction and an insoluble protein fraction. The therapeutic composition can include about 87% soluble proteins and about 13% lipids.

Disclosed compositions comprise a therapeutic agent and a carrier selected, or processed to have, an acceptable composite flow index, a granular particle size of 18 mesh to 80 mesh, or both, such as processed granular wheat middlings. The composition may also comprise an oil and/or micro tracers. Suitable granular wheat middlings may have a size range of from 18 mesh to 80 mesh, such as 20 mesh to 80 mesh. The composition has improved flowability characteristics, compared to a composition where the carrier, such as processed wheat middlings, are powdered and/or flakey. Certain embodiments concern a composition comprising, consisting essentially of, or consisting of, nicarbazin, granular wheat middlings, soybean oil and micro tracers. The composition may be administered to an animal, for example, to treat or prevent coccidiosis. Also disclosed herein are methods for making and using the composition.

Compositions for the immediate release, extended release, or sustained release of two or more active agents, in which the two or more active agents comprises at least one cannabinoid and at least one non-cannabinoid therapeutic agent. The compositions comprise a population of particles, in which each particles comprises the at least one cannabinoid, the at least one non-cannabinoid therapeutic agent, or a combination thereof.

Compositions for the extended release of one or more cannabinoids, in which the compositions comprise a population of particles. Each particle may comprise the one or more cannabinoids, one or more drug-releasing agents, and a core. The APIs may be a cannabinoid, such as cannabidiol or 9-tetrahydrocannabinol. The core may comprise an inert material. The one or more cannabinoids may comprise 9-tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabidiol, or a combination thereof.

Compositions for the extended release of one or more cannabinoids, in which the compositions comprise a population of particles. Each particle may comprise the one or more cannabinoids, one or more drug-releasing agents, one or more surfactants, and a core. The core may comprise a porous bead. The one or more cannabinoids may comprise 9-tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabidiol, or a combination thereof.

Disclosed herein are new cannabis compositions. In one embodiment, these new cannabis compositions are beverages, such as tea. In one embodiment, these new cannabis compositions are dehydrated beverages, such as powders or crystalline forms, which can be mixed with other components, like tea, and added to water.

An abuse-deterrent pharmaceutical composition has been developed to reduce the likelihood of improper administration of drugs, especially drugs such as opiods. In the preferred embodiment, the drug is modified to increase its lipophilicity by forming a salt between the drug and one or more fatty acids wherein the concentration of the one or more fatty acids is one to 15 times the molar amount of the active agent, preferably two to ten times the molar amount of the active agent. In one embodiment the modified drug is homogeneously dispersed within microparticles composed of a material that is either slowly soluble or not soluble in water. In some embodiments the drug containing microparticles or drug particles are coated with one or more coating layers, where at least one coating is water insoluble and preferably organic solvent insoluble. The abuse-deterrent composition prevents the immediate release of a substantial portion of drug, even if the physical integrity of the formulation is compromised (for example, by chopping with a blade or crushing) and the resulting material is placed in water, snorted, or swallowed. However, when administered as directed, the drug is slowly released from the composition as the composition is broken down or dissolved gradually within the GI tract by a combination of enzymatic degradation, surfactant action of bile acids, and mechanical erosion.

An abuse-deterrent pharmaceutical composition has been developed to reduce the likelihood of improper administration of drugs, especially drugs such as opioids. In a preferred embodiment, a drug is modified to increase its lipophilicity. In some embodiments the modified drug is homogeneously dispersed within spherical microparticles composed of a material that is either slowly soluble or not soluble in water. In some embodiments the drug containing microparticles or drug particles are coated with one or more coating layers, where at least one coating is water insoluble and/or organic solvent insoluble. The abuse-deterrent composition retards the release of drug, even if the physical integrity of the formulation is compromised (for example, by chopping with a blade or crushing) and the resulting material is placed in water, snorted, or swallowed. However, when administered as directed, the drug is slowly released from the composition as the composition is passes through the GI tract.
