The present invention relates to a sprinkle composition of cinacalcet which provides a dissolution profile which is comparable to the currently marketed tablet dosage form.

The present invention relates in part a to multiparticulate sprinkle dosage form comprising duloxetine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, having higher acid resistance as compared to commercially available delayed release formulations. It further relates to various methods of administering the said multiparticulate sprinkle dosage forms.

A composite particle including a core with at least one carrier material; a fluidizing material layer on the surface of the core; and an outer layer comprising nanoparticles of an ingestible material distributed in at least one matrix-forming material. A process of making the composite particles includes the steps of dry coating carrier particles with a fluidizing material; preparing a suspension of nanoparticles of an ingestible material distributed in a matrix-forming material; and fluid bed coating the carrier particles with the suspension. The process and products provide quick dissolving composite particles which can be used for delivery of poorly water soluble ingestible materials in suitable dosage forms. The process of the invention reduces or prevents particle agglomeration during fabrication of the composite particles to enable delivery and quick redispersion of nanoparticles of the ingestible material from a dosage form.

An orally disintegrating solid pharmaceutical dosage unit having a weight between 50 and 1,000 mg is disclosed. The dosage unit consists of: (a) 5-100 wt. % of coated particles comprising 50-99 wt. % of a core particle and 1-50 wt. % of a coating that envelops the core particle, said coating consisting of: 0.01-10 wt. % of a partus control substance selected from oxytocin, carbetocin, atosiban and combinations thereof; 5-50 wt. % of buffering agent; 15-80 wt. % of branched glucan; 0-78 wt. % of other pharmaceutically acceptable ingredients; and (b) 0-95 wt. % of one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients; the solid dosage unit comprising at least 20 μg of the partus control substance and having a pH buffer range of 3.5-5.7.

A method of treating lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, BCR-ABL positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia or CD34 positive acute myeloid leukemia comprising the step of administering to a patient a pharmaceutically acceptable amount of a composition comprising a thienotriazolodiazepine compound according to Formula (1) as a solid dispersion wherein X is a halogen, R.sup.1 is C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl, R.sup.2 is C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl, a is an integer of 1-4, R.sup.3 is C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl, C.sub.1-C.sub.4 hydroxyalkyl, C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkoxy, phenyl optionally having substituent(s), or heteroaryl optionally having substituent(s), a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or a hydrate thereof; and a pharmaceutically acceptable polymer. In one embodiment, the pharmaceutically acceptable polymer is HPMCAS. ##STR00001##

A multi-particle dosage form that can deliver phenylephrine in controlled pulsed doses. The dosage form can contain an immediate release form that can contain phenylephrine or a salt thereof and a plurality of delayed release particles with a coating that can contain phenylephrine or salt thereof and a pH sensitive coating.

The present invention relates to a novel method for obtaining a pharmaceutical composition based on modafinil. This method consists of solubilizing S modafinil in a fluid in the supercritical state and then after expansion of said fluid, recovering S modafinil by causing it to be absorbed at the surface by a support appearing as granules. Said fluid may be CO.sub.2 or another solvent and the support, anhydrous lactose or mannitol. Application of the pharmaceutical composition in the cases when increased short term alertness and over a short period is required for the consumer of the pharmaceutical composition.

The invention provides methods for treating a patient with constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome by administering a therapeutically effective dose of linaclotide.

The present invention is directed to stable linaclotide compositions and methods of treating gastrointestinal disorders in patients in need thereof by providing the stable linaclotide compositions.

“PHARMACEUTICAL COMBINATION CONTAINING AN ANALGESIC AGENT AND AN ANTISPASMODIC AGENT”, whose analgesic agent is the Ketorolac Tromethamine, which is physically isolated from the antispasmodic agent and whose antispasmodic active ingredient, in combination with the analgesic agent Ketorolac Tromethamine, is Hyoscine, Pargeverine, Tolterodine, Mebeverine or Papaverine. Both the analgesic agent Ketorolac Tromethamine and the antispasmodic agent are combined in separate and immediate release form. The analgesic agent Ketorolac Tromethamine can also be found in the present combination in separate and immediate release form, while the combined antispasmodic agent is presented in equally separate, but programmed release form. The active ingredient Ketorolac Tromethamine is in a ratio between 2.5% and 20% by weight and the antispasmodic active ingredient is in a ratio between 2.5% and 20% by weight.
