A method of treating leukaemia comprising orally administering to a patient in need thereof reduced daily doses of nilotinib of 100 mg to 600 mg, wherein the nilotinib is administered in a dosage form having a composition comprising nilotinib butanedisulphonate (2:1) or nilotinib butanedisulphonate (1:1).

Disclosed are a medicament comprising isovaleryl spiramycin I, II and/or III, and use of isovaleryl spiramycin I, II and/or III in manufacturing medicament for treating and/or preventing tumor and the medicament.

The present invention aims to provide a preparation expected to improve the bitter taste of an organic acid salt of vonoprazan and permit rapid dissolution of the organic acid salt of vonoprazan after administration.

The present invention provides a preparation containing fine granules or granules containing (1) a core granule containing an organic acid salt of vonoprazan, (2) an intermediate layer containing the same organic acid as the organic acid forming the salt of vonoprazan in (1), or a salt thereof, and (3) a coating layer containing a water-insoluble polymer.

A modified release benzonatate solid tablet or capsule is described which comprises a benzonatate adsorbate in a matrix with a sufficient amount of one or more pharmaceutically acceptable modified release pH-independent, substances to provide a modified release profile to the benzonatate, wherein there is substantially no benzonatate release from the tablet or capsule in the buccal cavity and no more than about 25% release of the benzonatate within 1 hour as determined in an in vitro dissolution assay.

The present invention concerns palatable veterinary compositions made from one or more pharmaceutical active ingredients having a smell and/or a taste that is repulsive to animals, and a preparation method for preparing said oral veterinary compositions.

The present invention relates to a solid pharmaceutical preparation comprising -lipoic acid, dicalcium phosphate and a binder. The solid pharmaceutical preparation has an improved stability and thereby improved bioavailability.

Extended release pyridostigmine dosage forms, suitable for maintaining stable plasma concentrations with reduced or minimized initial burst release/dose dumping of pyridostigmine, are provided. The dosage forms include matrix tablets, gastroretentive tablets, and pellets, the latter being suitable for dosing in capsules, tablets, and sachets, as well as for sprinkling on foodstuffs. The disclosure also provides methods for improving patient compliance by administering once-a-day extended release pyridostigmine bromide dosage forms that provide a superior controlled drug release.

An orodispersible solid pharmaceutical dosage unit having a weight between 30 and 1,000 mg is disclosed. The dosage unit comprises (a) 0.1-25 wt. % of estetrol particles containing at least 80 wt. % of an estetrol component selected from estetrol, estetrol esters and combinations thereof; and (b) 75-99.9 wt. % of one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. The solid dosage unit comprises at least 100 g of the estetrol component and can be obtained by a process that comprises compressing a dry blend of estetrol particles and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients into a solid dosage unit. The solid dosage unit is easy to manufacture and suited for sublingual, buccal or sublabial administration.

Controlled release and taste masking compositions containing one or more active principles inglobated in a three-component matrix structure, i.e. a structure formed by successive amphiphilic, lipophilic or inert matrices and finally inglobated or dispersed in hydrophilic matrices. The use of a plurality of systems for the control of the dissolution of the active ingredient modulates the dissolution rate of the active ingredient in aqueous and/or biological fluids, thereby controlling the release kinetics in the gastrointestinal tract.

Described herein are pharmaceutical compositions for the oral administration of nicotinamide, or a combination of nicotinamide and mesalazine, as well as methods of making such pharmaceutical compositions, and therapeutic methods for using them. The compositions comprise delayed-immediate release and delayed-extended release formulation of nicotinamide or a combination of nicotinamide and mesalazine.
